Our students transfer to many top four-year art programs. At Hudson Valley, students have the opportunity to work with professionals in their field from the faculty, who are working artists, to visiting artists. Introductory courses provide an intensive, hands-on learning experience, and extensive access to the studios and darkrooms encourages the growth of technical skills. Additional coursework builds upon and refines skills while exploring further the conceptual issues of concern to the visual arts. Fine Arts classes at Hudson Valley Community College are challenging and rewarding.
Faculty members take a personal interest in their students and their students' successes.
The program faculty are working artists. The Fine Arts Program offers both day and evening classes. This intensive program provides the foundation received during the first two years in art school at a much lower cost. Students can experiment and experience the arts directly. Students go on annual trips to the Metropolitan and Museum of Modern Art in New York City, benefiting from Hudson Valley's close proximity to the city.
