President's Perspective on the Arts

"Art has tremendous power to shape culture and touch the human heart. Its artifacts embody the ideas and desires of the coming generation. This means that what is happening in the arts today is prophetic of what will happen in our culture tomorrow. It also means that when Christians abandon the artistic community, we lose a significant opportunity to communicate Christ to our culture.”

- President Philip Ryken, Art for God’s Sake

A Word With Alumnus Josh Cutherell

"My experience at Wheaton not only gave me the necessary technical skills as a designer, it also taught me to think creatively about problem-solving. I learned to ask questions, to push through challenging situations, and to strive for solutions that are meaningful, thoughtful, and relevant."
