The R-MC Advantage

As an undergraduate, Lauren Cox '10 combined what might seem an unlikely set of interests--a major in economics/business along with minors in studio arts and art history. To Lauren, however, combining these areas of study was one of the advantages of a liberal arts education. Lauren also found time to take advantage of R-MC's J-term study abroad options to expand her world, traveling to Italy one year and participating in an internship in England during another January.

Studio Art

Vision, discipline, ingenuity, patience, creativity, mastery—the work of the artist demands a rich and varied range of skills valuable not only in the studio but also in the complex, changing world of the 21st century.

A major with perspective: The studio arts curriculum begins with a focus on the foundations of studio practice, then incorporates instruction in a range of media and disciplines including painting, printmaking, and drawing. As the focus of your college studies or as a complementary major or minor, studio arts provides a thorough introduction to the work of the studio artist.

Live art: The Flippo Gallery on the R-MC campus is dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary works of art by professional artists. The gallery is located in Pace-Armistead Hall, which is on the National Register of Historic Landmarks.

Beyond R-MC: Graduates of R-MC's studio arts program include working artists as well as alumni pursuing careers in fields including education, architecture, non-profit, and graphic design.
