Welcome!
From the Chair 
This is an excellent time to be in the arts. Fine Art
and Design has the capacity to touch lives in ways few other disciplines can
-- enriching our lives and, more importantly, blending with other programs to
create new and unexpected areas of study and experiences.
Studies in animation, interactive media, graphic novels, new media, and digital
imaging 
were
not imagined just a few years ago. This, in addition to the resurgence of our
classic disciplines, has provided exciting times and new horizons.
You will find the program here is one of the Midwest's “crown jewels".
Over the course of the past five years, we have, through university and private
initiatives, made an investment of more than a million dollars ensuring our
facilities are second to none. This has resulted in superior studios, state
of the art labs, software, tools, and numerous safety upgrades.
Our faculty is a community of creative people devoted to their fields of art
and design. They include nationally and internationally recognized artists,
designers, art educators, and art historians. Truly a personable group of people
who are united toward a common goal: providing a quality, individualized, world-class
education.
Students are involved in both the social life and decision-making of the Department
through the Art Student Association, the American Society of Interior Designers,
the American Institute of Graphic Arts, and the Art Education Student Association.
Art and Design scholarships are available. Additionally, many EKU students receive
partial or full assistance for their entire degree program through the University's
scholarship, loan, and work-study programs.
Our areas of study include: Art Education, Art History, Ceramics, Graphic Design,
Interior Design, Jewelry and Metals, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, and
Sculpture. The facilities in every studio area, classroom, computer labs, and
the Giles Gallery, are excellent and equal to many graduate-level programs at
the largest universities.
We are home to the Giles Art Gallery and just a short drive from some of the
most impressive museums & galleries in the Midwest. The region also feeds
a major national market for graphic design.
As people say - seeing is believing. Let me personally invite you to visit and
tour our facility. Make arrangements by e-mailing me at herb.goodman@eku.edu
or calling 859-622-1629.
If you have visited previously, please visit again. We welcome you to sit in
on some of our classes, view a gallery show, or to speak at length with a faculty
member in your area of career interest.
