facilities
Grand Valley’s Calder Art Center offers students state-of-the-art facilities and technology that surpass those of many other art programs. Whether your emphasis area employs traditional or contemporary practices, the recently expanded art building includes excellent resources ranging from woodshops to computer labs which are conscientiously maintained and regularly upgraded. GVSU offers professionally equipped programs not only in painting and sculpture, but also in such technically involved areas as graphic design, printmaking and ceramics. Students can also receive technical support from faculty and specialized staff within the department. In addition, many emphasis areas provide studios in the art building for upper level BFA students. These workspaces foster open dialogue between peers outside the classroom.
