Welcome to the website of Biola University’s Department of Art, an acknowledged leader in Christian visual arts education. At Biola University, our art professors are committed to training students so they are equipped with the aesthetic, technical, and conceptual skills necessary for success in various contemporary art practices. The University’s location in the midst of Los Angeles, an internati
onal nexus of ideas, images and realities, makes it a wonderful place to learn about and respond to contemporary visual arts culture—its social, political, philosophical, and spiritual concerns. Art students at Biola are trained academically and spiritually to become servant-leaders, who as artists, understand the complexity of the world in which they live. The Department of Art creates an academic environment that thrives on the interrelationship of biblical Christianity and artistic practice. It offers students a professional visual arts program with a rigorous curriculum integrated with a strong liberal arts emphasis and Christian theology.
