Visual Arts
During the 3 year visual arts program at Bailey students learn a variety of different skills, work with new materials and go on a field trip to a different art museum each year. Bailey art students participate in 2 major competitions a year and regularly place in Top 3 in their age group. 3rd year art students create a permanent installation on campus, with their ‘legacy project’ left behind as something for future classes to enjoy and be inspired by.
