The Visual Arts @ SCU is an exhibition of the art and publications by the faculty and staff of the Art and Art History Department and the de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University. This exhibition highlights and celebrates the knowledge, skills, talents and resources available in the visual arts to the University community and greater Bay Area.
The Department of Art and Art History at Santa Clara University offers degree programs leading to the bachelor of arts in two undergraduate majors, art history and studio art, with courses in both disciplines building a thorough understanding of the history and practice of art. Department faculty encourage interdisciplinary connections with the Santa Clara community through course offerings that fulfill a wide range of college and undergraduate Core Curriculum requirements, as well as offering courses through the University Honors Program.
The interdisciplinary Studio Art major is grounded in studio practice and fine art skills, but also develops students' writing and research abilities. The Art History major develops cultural literacy, taking students beyond aesthetic appreciation; students learn about the lived and living history of art and how it affects the present, preparing you for global citizenship.
Whether students create art or study it, the Department of Art & Art History prepares students to think creatively, communicate effectively, and solve complex problems.
The de Saisset Museum aims to inspire curiosity, provoke dialogue, and encourage reflection. As one of three South Bay museums to hold accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums, the de Saisset maintains the highest standards in exhibitions, programs, and collections care. The organization was founded in 1955 through a generous bequest from the de Saisset family.
The Museum supports Santa Clara University's goal of educating the whole person through a diverse and accessible range of exhibitions, collections, and educational programs that highlight the art and history of the San Francisco Bay Area and the local Santa Clara Valley. As a center of lifelong learning, the de Saisset Museum facilitates discovery, experience, and inspiration through engaging objects of art and history.
This event is free and open to the public.
