UNSETTLED is presented by the Art + Art History Department at Washington College, as the culminating degree requirement for our 2020 graduating seniors in Studio Art.

Studio Art courses at Washington College emphasize exploration, experimentation, and aesthetic and conceptual awareness, taught by a team of active and engaged professors who are themselves practicing professional artists. Students who choose to major with a Studio Art concentration gain a rigorous aesthetic and creative foundation, preparing them for ethical, creative lives and future careers as practicing artists, museum and arts professionals, designers, and innovators and problem solvers in all fields.

In addition to courses regularly offered in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and video, the Studio Art program frequently presents special topics courses that emphasize contemporary art ideas and methodologies, with recent course titles including Art and Language, Art in the Anthropocene: Greener Art through Greener Chemistry, Environmental Art, Art Outside the Gallery, Performance Art and Materials and Meaning. The Studio Art and Art History areas work closely and collaboratively, and the history of art-- from ancient through today-- complements the Studio Art curriculum.

Kohl Gallery is Washington College's premiere venue for exhibitions and interdisciplinary programming in the visual arts. In addition to a full schedule of curated and solo exhibits by artists from throughout the region, nation and world, Kohl Gallery presents two student exhibitions annually: the 100 Proof Student Juried Exhibition and the Studio Art Senior Capstone Exhibition. Through this capstone experience, supported by a junior-year professional practices seminar and a year-long senior studio seminar, students in the major gain firsthand experience with all facets of presenting a professional gallery exhibition.

​Additional opportunities for students include field trips to major museums and galleries in the surrounding cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC; competitive, paid internships available only to Washington College students through the Starr Center's Explore America program, at venues including the Smithsonian's American Art Museum, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, and Asian Art Museum; student internships in Kohl Gallery; and one-on-one collaboration opportunities with faculty.

We invite you to explore our unique combination of interdisciplinary contemporary art in a classic, small liberal arts college setting, located in an inspiring visual environment on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
