A Message from Visual Arts Director, Lauren Phillips

Welcome to Concord Academy Visual Arts Program. We are passionate about art. God is the ultimate Creator and He has given each of us a natural and even supernatural desire to create as well.  He is the ultimate artist. We want to spark passion for creative arts in our students. We primarily do that through the making of art, but we also stoke that passion by learning about new artists and different art forms. It is such a joy to see every individual student’s artistic expression take shape. The last thing we want is for art to feel like an “add-on” course. We see art central to your child’s overall education. Dostoyevsky said that “beauty will save the world.” He may just be right.
