Lyon College offers many unique opportunities to Art students: Art Majors in upper-level studios have personal studio space with twenty-four hour access. Students use personal studio space to work in conventional ways, and to explore the possibilities of installation. Students are exposed to the art world first-hand in the Contemporary Art course. The course culminates in a trip to New York City, where students visit museums, galleries, and artist’s studios. Lyon College’s Nichols Travel Program offers courses that provide students with the opportunity to travel internationally.

Lyon College offers personal attention and guidance, and our Art Department reflects this with small class sizes, and ample opportunities to work one-on-one with professors. Faculty expect Art students to work hard and be productive, so we provide a supportive environment and focus attention on the goals of each student as an individual. Our faculty members hold the terminal degree in studio art, and are active artists themselves, participating in shows across the country. The Art Faculty offer students the expertise of successful professionals in a constantly changing field, as well as the knowledge of skilled studio artists. Lyon’s Art Faculty is committed to working with each student on an individual basis to best serve each student’s artistic and professional goals.

Our graduates have been accepted at several university graduate programs: Cornell University, University of Florida, Maryland Institute College of Art, University of Kansas, Pratt Institute, Montclair State University, Louisiana State University. Many of our graduates are teaching art in various public school systems, and working in several art-related fields.
