Successful art and design students require adequate space to explore, professional equipment to use when completing assignments, and the latest technology to ensure they are at the forefront of the design fields at all times. Providing students with the tools they need for success in their degree programs, the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art has outstanding facilities in Statesboro and Savannah filled with professional equipment and current technology.
Constructed in 2008, the Center for Art & Theatre is a breathtaking venue for art exhibitions and events. With more than 5,000 square feet of galleries, the facility is located near historic Sweetheart Circle on Georgia Southern’s Statesboro Campus. Permanent collections include the Betty Foy Sanders Georgia Artists Collection and Smith Callaway Banks Southern Folk Art Collection. An active exhibition schedule features both solo and group exhibitions by world-renowned artists working in a range of media, from traditional paintings to multi-media installations, as well as exhibitions that showcase student accomplishments and provide professional exhibition experience for all levels of BFSDoArt students.
