Department of Fine Arts

We're just as passionate about the arts as you are.

Our Art (BA) and "Fine Art (BFA)" degrees help you master the fundamentals of visual communication and various media tools. And, our faculty teaches in the academy-style, which is a studio-based system of instruction that emphasizes working from direct observation and offers the technical foundations of an artist’s training.

We also offer a Performing Arts (BA) degree which features a carefully designed course grouping to provide a rich and broad background in the performing arts that puts you on center stage. You’ll get to learn all aspects of “putting on the show” – from acting and directing to building sets and stage-managing - the spotlight is always on you! 

Perhaps you're ready to explore graduate degrees? Fontbonne's Theatre Education (MA) is the only masters program available in the St. Louis area that allows you to create a flexible program combining studies in theatre and education.

We also offer Art (MA) and "Fine Art (MFA)" programs, which provide a teaching, learning and research environment that enables you to become professionally and intellectually effective as an artist.

Don't forget to check out our Fine Arts Gallery! Our gallery is recognized for its undergraduate and graduate education in painting, drawing, sculpture, graphics, ceramics, and photography, and has a history of exhibiting distinguished regional and local artists.
