Art
Students pursuing an art pathway build a portfolio of their art and are given opportunities to exhibit their work via the Les Fauves Art Club and, ultimately, a Sophomore show. Instructors are highly educated and competent professionals who actively practice their arts at Northwest and surrounding communities. Students who wish to pursue a career in art may begin that journey at NWCC. The art degree pathway (major) is a comprehensive two-year plan designed to prepare students to matriculate into a college or university program where they will complete the final two years of an undergraduate degree in art.
ALL STUDENTS enrolled at Northwest Mississippi Community College, whether majoring in art or not, are welcome to take art courses.
