Explore Your

Talents

What is your passion?

Miss Porter’s School students engage with the arts in the community and the classroom. Our practicing artist teachers lead the discovery of artistic expression through individuality, artistic voice and the belief that creativity can be discovered anywhere.

Our founder, Sarah Porter believed the arts are an integral part of a young woman’s education. Still true today, we honor that vision with our integrated disciplines and exposure to a variety of mediums in our art facilities throughout campus and the wider community.

Visual Arts

Are you an artist who works in ceramics, or a photographer? Or are you a future museum curator of art history, or a digital technical artist? We also have doodlers, drawers, painters, and printmakers.

Learn and hone skills, create your art and showcase your creativity in our galleries. View our current, past, and future gallery exhibits and explore more student work.

Art history

Is your passion Art History? 

Learn about art from the past so you can challenge the traditional catalog of Art History to prepare for the future.

Students gain skills and practice through exposure to curators, museum professionals, visiting artists, and Porter’s faculty who are practicing artists. They examine multiple artistic perspectives and expressions, cross-cultural art, and historical narrative!

Dance

Do you dream of dancing?
