Visual Arts

Burke's halls and walls vividly illustrate the depth of our arts coursework and independent opportunities. We encourage students to engage in visual arts through any media that sparks their interest – at the potter's wheel, behind the camera, in front of an easel.

We have modern, light-filled studio for drawing and painting and newly-renovated (in Fall 2021) ceramics and photography studios. Our Metro-accessible location in Van Ness DC offers easy access to museums, galleries, and working artists.
