Visual Arts

Expression takes many forms

At Wellington, visual arts are a pathway to creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression. Throughout their time at Wellington, students learn to see the world differently, experiment boldly, and communicate through a variety of media.  

Exhibitions

Sharing art is a vital part of the creative process. Students’ work is regularly displayed across campus and featured in exhibitions that celebrate growth, imagination, and achievement. Whether it is an early childhood photo exhibit or a curated upper school Advanced Studio show, exhibitions give students the joy of seeing their ideas come to life in a public space.
