The Lehman College Art Department's mission is to offer students from the Bronx and surrounding regions the unique opportunity to study in high-quality art and art history programs in which both traditional studio and digital art practice share common goals and vision.

Fundamental traditional and digital art making skills are taught as a vehicle for the development of creative thinking and innovative problem solving. Historical and analytical skills are emphasized, broadening a student's cultural literacy while helping prepare them for advanced study.
