You and your students are invited to the 11th annual College Art Day on Friday, November 7, 2025.
This event is for high school juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing a college degree in visual art. There will be two Art + Design studio sessions during the day. Students will be able to participate in hands-on university art studio classes from eight different studio areas offered at Central Washington University.
Learn more about the Department of Art + Design, degree programs, and scholarship opportunities. Enjoy a campus tour. Parents and teachers are welcome!
Art studios include Ceramics, Drawing, Painting/Watercolor, Graphic Design, Jewelry/Metals, Photography, Sculpture, and Wood Design.
As a teacher, we hope you will attend, observe, and participate; however, your attendance is not mandatory for your students to attend the event and art competition.
