Studio Arts
Students may select a minor in Studio Arts to complement their major and pursue the opportunity to advance their techniques in another area. The Studio Arts minor allows students to move through the basic techniques of visual art practice to more advanced skills in the upper level courses. This minor requires an accumulation of 15 credits.
The classes in this minor gives an added perspective to many majors. Students in the Studio Arts minor combine an interest in psychology for careers in art therapy and related fields. Education majors at all levels find studio arts practice a valuable addition to their skills.

Curry College Fine and Applied Arts Professor Laurie Alpert's artwork will be featured in the anti-violence themed 'Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here' Exhibit at the CAC Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The piece, titled 'Iraqi Peace Song,' will be on display from January 7 until February 28.
The Curry Arts Journal enlivens artistic expression at Curry in publishing an appealing, professional edition of student writing and artwork each year and in sponsoring workshops, readings, and coffeehouses that celebrate student voices each semester.
"As a first-year student, it's important to take some time to figure out what you want to do at Curry. The key is to concentrate on what makes you happy, and once you figure it out, pursue it relentlessly," suggests Visual Arts alum, Peter Machen.
Congratulations to the members of the Curry fine arts faculty for their on-going professional accomplishments!
