Visual Arts

The LJCDS visual arts program provides an intellectual foundation through hands-on production in a variety of media. We believe that the arts serve as a catalyst for students to realize their creative potential in an environment where unique perspectives, talents, and beliefs can flourish. Through student-curated exhibitions, museum partnerships, guest lectures, and artist-in-residence programs, students gain insight into the role of art in a global society. At LJCDS, the visual arts program develops confident, creative thinkers who form a lifelong connection to art.
