The Art Department at Edgewood College is known to provide individual attention to its students within the diverse and lively setting of Madison - a hub for art and culture in the state of Wisconsin. Exposure and access to Madison's lively arts community coupled with individual attention expands students' creativity and artwork. The faculty at Edgewood College are educators and practicing studio artists and designers. Each professor brings a personal specialization to the overall program and works one-on-one with you. Art studio classes vary in size from 5 to 15 students, allowing ample opportunity for personal development and collaboration with experienced artists.

We offer contemporary, accessible and high-quality programming that responds to the needs of the community and serves an expansive spectrum of arts viewers—from the beginner to the mature and advanced arts lovers.  Many texts for exhibitions are available in large-print and Spanish.
