Our Mission

Our primary mission is to facilitate learning, experimentation, and understanding of the visual language called art and design. Through Truman's knowledgeable and talented faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and one-on-one instruction, art majors are guided, pushed and encouraged to develop into visually expressive individuals.

The Truman art faculty are involved in a range of professional and service activities and serve as a role models for aspiring artists and designers. Their knowledge and talent make this art department second to none in the region. Graduates of this program are readily sought after by creative organizations and graduate schools because of the talent and creative skill sets that have been fostered in our students.

Come join us and learn what being an artist and designer can mean to you.
