Because expression and communication are everything, we have art and we have design.
Our faculty is comprised of professional artists, designers and art historians who are committed to the teaching mission of NKU. They bring their creative and scholarly interests to the classroom and studio in ways that provide exciting and thought-provoking ideas that both inform and challenge.
At the heart of every creative person is the need to be seen and heard. Whether educating, creating art, expressing ideas, or communicating messages through media or experiences, enriching communities and the world is the outcome. At SOTA, you will grow in knowledge, craft, creativity, and strength of vision. And the power of our curriculum is built on its profound connections. From personal student-faculty and peer-to-peer relationships that endure well past graduation to collaborations that transform you into thinkers and practitioners, Art and Design is the program for those searching for life-long achievement.

Gina recently brought her mural design for the Newport Flood Wall on Dave Cowens Drive to completion for the city's 225th Anniversary! This mural, entitled "Education Empowers", tells the story of the Southgate Street School; the original building stands today and is now the home of the Newport History Museum. It was the first and only school for Black children in Newport immediately following the Civil War. The 19-panel wall will eventually become a chronological timeline of Newport's rich history.
