VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS AT O'DOWD

O’Dowd’s robust arts program is a creative oasis for students to develop their unique voices as artists. Through visual art, music, drama, creative writing and journalism, students find their resilience, practice self-expression, gain confidence, build community, and discover their best selves. Our arts teachers are all professional working artists, guiding students to develop a technical toolbox and critical analysis skills that empower them to create art they want to share with the world. Our facilities include modern rehearsal and performance spaces, professional recording studios, and a black box theater. Students have gone on to nationally recognized arts programs, including the Rhode Island School of Design, the Pratt Institute, California Institute of the Arts, The School of Visual Arts, and more.
