Art Reach

The Department of Art and Design at Southeast Missouri State sponsors this after school art program to empower underserved youth through relationship building and art making activities. Art educators and artists volunteer their time to enrich the lives of the Art Reach students. The curriculum explores a variety of cultures, disciplines, and media. Guest artists discuss and demonstrate their art processes. An exhibit of the Art Reach students’ work is displayed annually at the River Campus Center during the River Campus Arts Festival in June and at the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri in August.

Southeast Studio of Visual Art

The Southeast Studio of Visual Art is an exciting and intensive weeklong experience for artists. The academy will challenge students technically and artistically through a variety of courses taught by faculty and professional artists Throughout the course of the week students will explore both two-dimensional and three-dimensional artistic mediums in studio-style classes while working in a university environment. 

This experience offers artists the opportunity to discover new mediums and techniques on an individualized basis, as well as create art that can assist students in the creation of an artistic portfolio that may be used in university and scholarship applications. The studio experience culminates with each artist participating in an exhibition of their work.
