Artistic Excellence at the Forefront
A fine arts education is integral to the fulfillment of Marist’s mission to form the whole person.
At Marist, we value creative expression and innovative ways for students to explore their talents. We focus on building foundational skills while providing opportunities for serious art students to gather the tools they will need for deeper immersion and further concentration in college and beyond.
Our experienced faculty inspire students with their own artistic pursuits.
Through the many opportunities in our fine arts programs and curriculum at Marist, students can unleash their imaginations. They find places to pursue their artistic passions, building on the fundamentals toward inspiration and possibility. Fine arts students amaze us every day with their insights and creativity.” Eric McNaughton ’90Fine Arts Department Chair & Theater Director
Performing Arts
Theater and dance students captivate audiences with their incredible talents. There are opportunities for students to be in the spotlight on stage and just as many for those who want to explore the technical aspects of stage production.
Band & Choral Music
Marist’s band ensembles and choral groups give student musicians the opportunity to explore music literature, hone technique, and develop musical interpretation skill while engaging enthusiastic audience members.
Visual Arts
Art students can express their creativity through drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography, digital arts, learn about art history and culture and experience art through cocurricular travel offerings.
