The Department of Art and Art History affirms the power of art to transform individuals and society. They are committed to the practice, production and critical and historical study of art within a liberal arts education that encourages experimentation and independence of thought.
Their diverse faculty offer a rigorous curriculum that crosses disciplines and attracts inquisitive, dedicated students with wide-ranging interests, encouraging creative investigation as an essential skill informed by the highest standards of critical thought.
A hard-hitting amalgamation of critical theory and studio courses, brilliantly transversing Courbet and Marina Abramović, Picasso and Gertrude Stein, Joan Didion and Dave Hickey — the CU Art and Art History Department is the best-kept secret among art schools."
