The LIU Post art faculty recognizes the creation of art as a profound and exciting experience. We provide a congenial environment that encourages new avenues of expression and the understanding of traditional and contemporary modes for creating art. In every phase of work, emphasis will be placed on the originality and substance of artistic concepts, scholarly comprehension of problems, knowledge of materials and craftsmanship. All students will take courses in art history, drawing, design and creative concepts as well as classes in their major concentration. LIU Post’s beautiful, 307-acre landscaped campus, with its lush lawns, gardens and historic mansions, is itself an inspiration to creativity. In addition, the University offers a generous array of exhibition spaces, facilities and resources, including the Hillwood Art Museum and the Student Art League Gallery. The vibrant New York art scene is only a short car or train ride away.
