Northeastern's Art + Design Department programs work to provide and promote a knowledge and understanding of the visual arts. In order to keep and grow our mission, we are launching a giving campaign focused on supporting our students while they pursue careers in studio art, art history and graphic design. Our department's studio spaces accommodate the full range of art courses offered at Northeastern: sculpture, printmaking, interactive arts, photography, painting, letterpress, digital fabrication, drawing, ceramics and graphic design.

During this week artists have access to all Art + Design Department facilities to conduct their personal work, facilitate a workshop with a corresponding Art + Design Department course, and present an open-to-the-public lecture of their work. The NEIU Art + Design Department Visiting Artist Program strives to create visible connections between or diverse population of art and design students with working artists who embody these identities.
