Our Mission
Gallaudet University's Art Department cultivates a multifaceted, interdisciplinary understanding of art as fundamental to human expression and dialog.
We embrace the creative potentials of our discipline whether expressed traditionally or through cutting-edge technology. Our curriculum provides majors and non-majors a balance of studio art, graphic design, digital media and art history.
Outside our doorstep world-renowned museums, galleries and professional studios beckon us to visit and conduct research. In these off-site classroom spaces and in our classrooms and studios on campus, we encourage students to engage in their community, become creative problem solvers, and explore the potential of art as a force for positive social change.
