Advanced standing in art is possible through portfolio examination of work completed independently at another institution or high school. You'll be encouraged to participate in local competitions, and Capital's Schumacher Gallery showcases student art in an annual exhibition each spring. In addition to its extensive collection of original paintings, ethnic art and sculpture, the gallery hosts traveling exhibits and a variety of creative programs. Students are encouraged to attend gallery receptions where they can meet informally with artists and others who share an interest in art.
