Activities

The Department of Media and Visual Arts engages students in a variety of ways outside the classroom. This takes the form of field trips, workshops, on-air assignments, gallery events, etc. These are activities outside of required course work. Here are additional highlights:

  • The 48 Hour Film Festival: A short filmmaking competition open to WLU students and area high school students. Student teams are given a prompt, genre, line of dialogue and a prop and have 48 hours to complete a 6 to 10 minute film. Cash prizes are awarded at the public screening of all films.
  • Extreme Art Night: An all night art event with guest speakers, workshops, music, movies, live models and competitions. The event provides the faculty an opportunity to engage students in a variety of activities and topics in a relaxed fun way.  Now in its 18th year.
  • Art and Design trips: Art department travel with students ranges from Printmaking residency’s in Poland, Design camp in Korea and museum and architecture studies in Europe
  • Monthly gallery openings in the Nutting Gallery located in the Hall of Fine Arts. Artists from around the region display and interact with students. Many of the artists presenting in the gallery also conduct workshops for students, the community and faculty.
  • Field trips to Pittsburgh and surrounding areas: Trips to local museums and design firms in Pittsburgh give students and faculty an opportunity to engage professionals in their work environment. Many of the AIGA events take place in the Pittsburgh area.
