Fine & Performing Arts

"Young children possess a remarkable, intuitive relationship to what they see. Their senses are truly alive. Twenty drawings of the same subject should be as different as the twenty different imaginations experiencing that subject. In part, my quest as a teacher is to dispel notions of who is an artist and who benefits from an arts education. Everyone is an artist."

--Cathy Van Lancker, Visual Arts Program Director

At Moses Brown, the arts have an exceptional vibrancy imbued with both the discipline and the emotive depth that makes art so integral to society. The program is built around the philosophy of developing the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Developing artistic literacy and personal expression are essential elements of a comprehensive education.
