As a student enrolled in any of the three primary disciplines within Nipissing University's Department of Fine and Performing Arts (AHVS, Studio, or Film), you'll gain exclusive access to specialized research and exhibition opportunities designed to enhance professional growth through dynamic collaborative projects with established artists, gallery curators, and community influencers. Our program's key advantages include intimate class settings with a warm, collegial atmosphere, distinguished faculty with broad interdisciplinary networks, generous studio facilities, and an inspiring natural setting for creative work.
We champion self-directed exploration and originality in our students while fostering diversity, individual expression, and the pursuit of both intellectual and artistic mastery. Our mission is to cultivate critically aware, visually sophisticated art practitioners who will make meaningful contributions to the discipline and society as culturally aware, socially conscious individuals. Alongside our core strengths in sculpture, painting, drawing, and printmaking - where students build essential technical skills - we offer cutting-edge studies in digital media, experimental performance art, video production, and environmental installations.
