Fine and Performing Arts at SIUE
At SIUE, fine and performing arts students receive a broad-based liberal arts education while developing their creative talents. Unlike standard fine and performing arts schools, SIUE offers affordable, high-quality academic programs that prepare students to go on to any career of their choice with an understanding of a broad range of topics and how they relate to each other and the art of the student’s choice.
Located on 2,660 acres of rolling hills at the edge of Edwardsville, Ill., the University's park-like setting offers students a quiet and inspiring space to focus on the work they love.
In contrast, when the need for inspiration calls, students find that vibrant culture abounds on campus in the form of galleries and events. Edwardsville supports an artistic community with art featured by various local artists in multiple businesses around town. Museums, art galleries and musical venues, along with internships and employment opportunities, are just 25 minutes away in the metropolitan city of St. Louis.
