{ Overview }

Wouldn't you like to understand the art of your own time?

Have you ever wondered why artists do what they do?
Have you ever wished that you understood the art of your own time? Why do some works sell for zillions of dollars? Why do some artists decide to address uncomfortable subject matter
or use unusual materials?

The Ripon College art department is dedicated to answering these questions, for education is the only antidote for alienation from the arts.

Evelyn Kain, Chair

Art Scholarships

You may qualify for an art scholarship of $1,000 to $5,000. To apply, submit a portfolio of original works and/or slides that represent the breadth of your skills and interests, plus a letter of recommendation from a high school or other teacher to the admissions office. A personal interview with the art faculty then will be scheduled.
