WELCOME TO THE ART DEPARTMENT
From your first day here in the Art Department, you will be encouraged to push beyond what is common, to produce art that is innovative and distinct. You'll begin to appreciate a culture of creativity that fosters the connection between critical thinking and art making.
The Art Department is located in the Washburn Arts Center, a building named for Cadwallader Washburn, a Gallaudet graduate (class of 1890), who became world renowned for his etchings. Renovated in 2002, the building has expanded studio spaces, dark room, and a gallery for exhibitions. Computer based classrooms and labs offer students a state-of-the-art environment where they can learn and master software and design programs standard to the evolving field of visual art.

- Personal Identity

- Knowledge of Related Disciplines

OUR MISSION
Gallaudet University's Art Department offers a bilingual, diverse, and multicultural program designed to ensure the intellectual and professional advancement of deaf and hard of hearing individuals through American Sign Language and English. Within this context, we cultivate 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.
