Studio

Each student is given a private studio with appropriate furnishings at our facility at the old Sand Point naval base. All studios have internet access. There is a well-equipped wood shop, a conference room, a computer lab, and a gallery at the facility. Painting and Drawing Program faculty also work in studios at Sand Point. This facility is located approximately 15 minutes from the main campus.
