Official OpeningTake A SeatBuilding The Future

New $40 million Visual Arts Building The Lamar Dodd School of Art will join The University of Georgia’s Performing and Visual Arts Center, located on East Campus, in a new building, designed by Menefee & Winer Architects, which will provide state of the art facilities for graduate and undergraduate studio and art history programs, as well as providing faculty studios and administration offices.

The original vision for the Performing and Visual Arts Complex, to provide interdisciplinary opportunities to visual and performing artists, will be brought closer to reality when the School of Art comes to East Campus.

The faculty is made up of nationally recognized artists and scholars who promote a rigorous and lively creative atmosphere conducive to experimentation, innovation, scholarship and creative inquiry. In addition to its on-campus facilities, the School also has a year-round Studies Abroad Program in Cortona, Italy, that has served over 4,000 students from 400 American institutions since its inception in 1969. More recently the School has expanded the international opportunities for study in art to include programs in Japan, Cuba and Ghana.
