Concordia's Department of Art is a community of visual artists and designers committed to an innovative program, a rigorous work ethic and an attitude of artistic integrity. Together they form the premier Christian visual arts learning community in the Midwest.
The art department is a fertile place for students to realize their potential. The study of art at Concordia is enriched by the Marxhausen Gallery, CONCORDesign, the Center for Liturgical Art and a faculty made up of active artists with a heart for teaching.
