Fine Arts at Baylor

Baylor offers a vibrant and deep fine arts program that includes theater, chorus, band, orchestra, dance, painting, drawing, sculpture, pottery, digital design, and photography.  While a minimum of fine arts courses are required of all students, we are passionate about delivering the best possible experience for individuals who are interested in a deeper immersion or who may be considering further concentration in college. 

We are also fortunate to welcome to campus throughout the year authors, choreographers, dancers, musicians, poets, and artists from all disciplines as visiting artists and guest lecturers -- and the school calendar is packed each year with performances, concerts, exhibits, and special trips. With the guidance of experienced faculty (many of whom are artists in their own right) the adventure of fine arts at Baylor can be a transforming experience for student artists and performers.
