The program in Art offers courses in a variety of media that provide a background in visual arts as part of a liberal education and as a preparation for graduate study and professional work.

Courses in Art are open to all undergraduate students. In cases where student demand for entry into a course is greater than can be accommodated, priority will be given to School of Art students and declared Art majors. The director of undergraduate studies and members of the Art faculty will be present for counseling on Tuesday, September 4, adjacent to the School of Art Gallery at Holcombe T. Green, Jr., Hall, 1156 Chapel Street, between 10.30 A.M. and 2 P.M. Students seeking advice about course selection or the program in Art should come at that time. Others wishing to elect Art courses should go to the first meeting of the class, when each instructor will determine the class enrollment. Classes begin on Wednesday, September 5. For courses beginning in the spring term, counseling will be held on Monday, January 14, 2008, adjacent to the School of Art Gallery, from 12 to 1.30 P.M.; Art classes begin on Tuesday, January 15, 2008. All Art majors are required to register with the director of undergraduate studies at the beginning of each term at the time and place listed above in order to be enrolled or to continue in the major.

The great success of this process is the resulting Public Art Collection. These fine works can be seen from the Albuquerque International Sunport to the Sandia foothills and the Western edge of the city limits, with concentrations in the Downtown district, and in the University/Nob Hill and historic Old Town areas. In a city where the natural beauty of the sky, the Rio Grande, the volcanoes, and the Sandia Mountains can enchant and even dazzle, the Public Art Collection finds its strength and beauty in reflecting the spirit, diversity, and creativity of the people who live here.

Additional aspects of the Albuquerque Public Art Program include the Albuquerque Cultural Plan, an adopted city plan that advocates for arts education, for opportunities for involvement in the arts, and for sustainable funding for arts and culture initiatives; the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, a public trust that supports a broad variety of arts, cultural projects and services, through a community application process; and a Collection Conservation Program that assures high quality care and maintenance of the works of art.
