Fine and Performing Arts
The Fine and Performing Arts Department seeks to promote the visual arts, dance, music, and theatre throughout the Saint Joseph College community, the greater Hartford area, and, indeed, throughout the state and region. The arts are the foundation of all great cultures, and by understanding them students not only gain a greater understanding of history, literature, and society, but also enrich their aesthetic values and their appreciation of others. In short, no college education is complete without a strong background in the arts. Faculty in the Fine and Performing Arts Department hope to involve all students in not only the study and research of the arts, but also the active creation of art.
