Lois Harris, Provost

Located in the heart of one of the nation's most vibrant cities, Cornish College of the Arts presents an exciting opportunity for personal and artistic growth for students of music, design, art, theatre, performance production, and dance. At Cornish, the visual and performing arts departments share several common features that are at the heart of the College's mission. As a student at Cornish, you will experience supportive mentorship through your relationships with professional artists - practitioners who understand what it means to commit one's life to art. You will also be challenged constantly to enlarge both technical command and artistic range as you work to develop a distinctive, individual style.

Moreover, the historical legacy of Cornish as an institution dedicated to contemporary expression serves to promote an active dialogue between tradition and experimentation that will inspire you to informed innovation. At Cornish, your development as an artist is understood within the broader context of the humanities, which ensures breadth and depth as an individual, as well as excellence in your life as an artist. Cornish is a lively community of artists, citizens and innovators. We invite you to join us.
