Painting Facilities

UMass Dartmouth's commitment to offering students an excellent studio art education includes state-of-the-art classroom and studio spaces in two locations. Many are in CVPA's building on the Dartmouth campus, where students easily access all of the University's facilities. Our exciting new Star Store campus is a recently renovated building in nearby, historic downtown New Bedford. Opened in September 2001, it is a beautifully equipped modern urban arts complex.

Star Store's classrooms and private studios allow students to work in a professional atmosphere. The BFA Painting/2D studies program supports investigation of a variety of visual arts media. Students are encouraged to explore the many disciplines offered by CVPA.
