All majors have access to the studio spaces and labs necessary to develop and hone their craft. Performing arts students present major works in our beautiful Pauline Theater and the Empty Space Theater for more intimate productions. The creative nature of our faculty has also inspired performances in the Sechrest Art Gallery, Caine Conservatory and the Culp Planetarium. Art and graphic design students create exhibitions of their work in the Sechrest, Norton, and Deal galleries. Interior Design and Fashion Merchandising students have the opportunity to work at the International Home Furnishings Market, held twice a year. At each market, more than 75,000 people and 2,400 exhibit and purchase products fill 160 showrooms and more than 10 million square feet of display space. Our location offers students opportunities for field trips to see industry in action and internships to gain real-world experience.
