Studio Visits

Successful art and design students require adequate space to explore, professional equipment to use when completing assignments, and the latest technology to ensure they are at the forefront of the design fields at all times. Providing students with the tools they need for success in their degree programs, the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art has outstanding facilities in Statesboro and Savannah filled with professional equipment and current technology.

Prospective students and their guests are invited to take a closer look by scheduling a Facilities Tour. We encourage our guests to make the most of their time on campus, therefore, the BFSDoArt schedules tours around the Office of Admissions Campus Tours and the Department of Housing’s Residence Hall Tours.

BFSDoArt Facility Tours are available Monday – Friday by appointment only.
