Whether as a major, a rewarding extracurricular pursuit, or another path entirely, the arts are a vital thread woven into the tapestry of a complete F&M liberal arts education, enriching your perspective and honing skills critical for any field.

鈥淭he arts at F&M have been an integral part of my college experience.鈥

鈥淪inging with F&M's Chamber Singers and playing piano in the Symphonic Wind Ensemble and orchestra have allowed me to foster meaningful relationships with my professors and fellow students. I love being a part of F&M's musical community and find it incredibly meaningful to be part of something that is bigger than myself. Some of my closest friends are people I met through ensembles, and a lot of my favorite college memories are from my three and a half years involved in music. In addition to my musical experience, I also work as a gallery assistant at the Phillips Art Museum, where I get to interact with visitors who have come to appreciate the art displays.鈥
