The Art Department at SUNY Oswego offers the benefit of having specialized areas to study and perfect your concentration of art. We offer studio space in two different buildings, Tyler Hall and Lanigan Hall, specialized to meet the needs of your selected discipline. Both buildings are on the west side of campus and are relatively close to one another.

Tyler Hall

A portion of the Art Department is located in Tyler Hall, which also houses the Departments of Music and Theatre. Inside Tyler Hall are the studios for Foundation Design, Drawing, Sculpture, Ceramics, Painting, Printmaking, and Photography. Also found in the building is the Digital Imaging lab and the Woodshop. Two art galleries, where a variety of exhibitions are held throughout the academic year, are also located in the building, as are collections of slides, digital images and VCR tapes, which supplement teaching in both the Studio Art and Art History areas.

Graphic Design

The spacious Graphic Arts facility is situated in Lanigan Hall, which also houses programs in Broadcasting and Journalism as well as the large lecture halls used for a number of General Education offerings. The Graphic Design wing is located on the first floor close to the Center for Communication and Information Technology. These facilities include two lecture/critique rooms and two large digital media labs. Additional facilities include a room for preparing portfolios and framing, a student lounge, a digital photography studio, an audio/video projects studio, and a conference room.
