The Department of Visual and Performing Arts at the
University of Maine at Farmington offers courses in art, dance, music, and
theatre, as well as interdisciplinary courses which integrate the arts with
other fields. Our performing organizations—the orchestra, band, chorus,
chamber choir, Theatre UMF, and the UMF Dancers—present many productions and
concerts each year. The Art Gallery mounts a wide range of exhibitions,
including the eagerly-anticipated show in the spring for graduating art
majors. As a department we frequently collaborate with the broader western
Maine arts community
Some of our students will be pursuing careers in the
visual or performing arts; others are simply exploring the arts to enhance
their educational experience at UMF. Our current degree programs include a
BA in Art and two interdisciplinary arts programs in music and theatre and
three degrees in Arts Administration with an emphasis in art, music, or
theatre. Students may also, in consultation with their advisor, design an
individualized major tailored to their specific interests and career goals.
Another option is to study art, music, or theatre as a secondary area,
either through the 18-credit minor or as one of the 30-credit concentrations
in the Special and Elementary Education Programs.
