At the Hartford Art School, we educate the whole artist through rigorous studio-based disciplines in a liberal arts university setting. And with an undergraduate enrollment of about 310 students, you can count on lots of personal attention from the professional artists, designers, and historians who teach our classes in eight diverse studio areas and art history.
Because we are part of a comprehensive university with a broad range of courses that complement our studio disciplines, you will learn the skills it takes for you to thrive wherever your passion takes you. Courses in creative or technical writing, computer science, communications, marketing, management, history, literature, or education—whatever you desire to complement your studio courses and further your career objectives—are available at the University of Hartford.
Our goal is to prepare students to be capable, knowledgeable, and prepared to enter the professional artistic domain with an understanding of the visual arts in relation to other human endeavors, and to become creative, contributing members of society.
The Hartford Art School adheres to no single philosophy or style of art. Through curriculum, exhibitions, visiting artist programs, and particularly through its resident faculty, the School fosters a diversity of influences and experiences. The breadth of artistic and educational philosophies, combined with our facilities, creates a close community of active art students, within an environment that is challenging and supportive.
At the University of Hartford, the study of art-related fields does not end at the doors of the Hartford Art School. A program in art history, in the College of Arts and Sciences, teaches students to look at the world through different eyes. Art history prepares students to investigate history with a detective’s precision or to philosophize about art with the broad scope of a cultural critic.
