The School of Fine Arts has a dual responsibility. As the only
School of Fine Arts in Montana, it has a primary responsibility
through its faculty to provide the finest professional training
in Art, Dance, Drama and Music. In addition, it trains serious
young people who wish to teach in the fine arts. These two goals
are part of a strong professional program, for the faculty of
the school feels that the best practitioners make the best teachers
and that an honest regard for excellence is best developed through
a true involvement in creative experience.
