The Department of Art and Design serves Dordt University, its students, and the broader community by cultivating a deepened understanding of visual arts and the role of aesthetics in creating and living as God’s image bearers. We create an artistically rich and challenging environment where students can explore and develop their God-given artistic gifts and insights. Within this environment we nurture personal growth, encourage social progress, promote a sense of community.
