College Mission Statement

The Lamar D. Fain College of Fine Arts encompasses programs in art, mass communication, music, and theatre. The primary purpose of the college is to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue careers in these disciplines. To accomplish this purpose, stress is placed on applying classroom learning to process and performance. The college prides itself on ensuring that its students do what they study: in its art studios, in its newspaper and television laboratories, and in its concerts, recitals, and dramatic productions. Moreover, the college is committed to offering individualized instruction in functional, up-to-date surroundings. Because the college’s offerings are devoted solely to undergraduate programs, because its faculty members are committed to effective teaching, and because the ratio of full-time faculty members to fine arts majors is approximately 1:12, students are assured frequent, high-quality contact with their instructors. The quality of instruction is enhanced by the faculty’s desire to serve as models for students through their research and creative endeavors. Frequently these endeavors directly involve students, thus vitalizing their educational experiences.

Besides providing knowledge and training that will qualify students for jobs, graduate study, or professional school, the college endeavors to help students develop aesthetic sensibility, cultural awareness, and social responsibility. Not only are students taught to create within their disciplines, but they are also challenged to evaluate the quality of what they have created, to assess the effect of their and others’ creations on the wider culture, and to aspire to professionalism and excellence. The goal is to empower students to use their talents to enrich and advance society. Thus, the Lamar D. Fain College of Fine Arts adopts a twofold mission designed to produce graduates who are both competent professionals and sensitive, reliable, constructive citizens.

Ground Plan for Christ Academy


Excerpts from General Space Recommendations for Fine Arts in Response to Opportunity to Claim Space in Christ Academy

• The overarching goal in reaching space-allocation and renovation decisions should be to ensure that these decisions result in the satisfactory, permanent housing of the four fine arts programs: art, mass communication, music, and theatre.

• The front section and the north portion of the middle section of Christ Academy should be assigned to Music. The south portion of the middle section should house the Counseling Center. The gymnasium located in the rear section of the building should be divided into (1) a Choir Rehearsal Room/Choir Library and (2) a television production studio. The rest of the building’s rear section should be used for three mass communication offices, a Broadcast Computer Lab, and a converged newsroom combining print, broadcast, and digital applications.

• The new Fain Instrumental Music Hall should continue to serve as such.


More Excerpts from General Space Recommendations for Christ Academy

• Akin Auditorium should continue to serve as the performance hall for the music program, and authority for scheduling events there should remain with the Chair of the Music Department.

• The suite of offices and classrooms in C Wing of the Fain Fine Arts Center that are currently occupied by the music program should be re-assigned to the mass communication program when the music program moves into Christ Academy. The space could be reassigned with little or no remodeling.


More Excerpts from General Space Recommendations for Christ Academy

• The space vacated by mass communication in B Wing of the Fain Fine Arts Center could be utilized as follows:

– The vacated offices could be used for adjunct faculty, who currently must all share one very small office; a larger Theatre Publicity Office, which currently occupies a very cramped space in the theatre control booth; and a much needed storage room. Also, ‑one of the offices could be assigned to the costume designer, who currently offices in a space that could be better used as a work or storage area.

– The current Wichitan laboratory, which opens into the theatre lobby, could be

converted into a more commodious office for the Chair of the Theatre Department; this shift would also give the Chair a more visible presence where promotion and interaction with theatre patrons/supporters is concerned.

• The space in C wing that currently serves as the MSU2 Television Studio should be returned to the Art Department for eventual enlargement of the Drawing Studio and for gallery storage.
