Welcome to DSU Art Department The Art Department at Delta State University has a long tradition of helping art students become successful, practicing artists with a lifelong passion for art. Our students have gone on to own their own graphic design firms or serve as Art Director for magazines and agencies. We can boast of a number of graduates who are active as painters, sculptors, ceramists, and art instructors. We are striving to continue this tradition of excellence by enhancing a number of areas. We have improved modern facilities with spacious studios which include an up-to-date graphic design computer lab, and a digital photography/video lab with state-of-art equipment. Our students also collaborate with students in the Delta Music Institute on multi-media projects. We have initiated a new summer study program in western and central Turkey, visiting such sites as Ephesus, Cappadocia, Hagia Sophia, Pergamum and many others. We also offer a summer study program in Florence, Italy to give students first-hand exposure to art masterpieces and renaissance culture. Other initiatives include a yearly six-day museum study program to such cities as New York, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Chicago and others to experience first-hand the works of the present and past masters. The Hazel and Jimmy Sanders Sculpture Garden serves as a hands-on sculpture lab with its biennial competition. Eight works from past competitions are installed around Delta State campus. Finally, we have a strong and diverse faculty committed to helping students achieve their artistic goals. We welcome you to explore our programs and invite you to come visit our department.
