Program Description

The Visual Art Department at Germantown Academy is committed to providing a comprehensive education in the arts within the context of a liberal arts education. Our foundation and advanced curriculum is a well-rounded and versatile approach to the study and application of art. It is designed to provide a creatively stimulating education in an open environment of studio classes. Experimentation and innovation, collaboration and social responsibility are themes built into the curriculum. While these courses extend excellent opportunities for the general study of art and life-long arts advocacy, they are also designed to cultivate serious talents in the visual arts. Many of our students have gone on to prominent careers in commercial, fine, and applied arts.

The Memorial Garland in the GA Quad


The Memorial Garland installation is now up and adorns all four trees of our campus Quad.   Words were written and art rendered, on hundreds of small fabric flags, to memorialize those loved ones and moments, that have passed. Friends and family of the GA community are remembered here, as well as other memories, wishes, thoughts, hopes and dreams.   This collaboration is meant to remind us of the many powers of art, including providing a time, place and space for the art of remembering.  We hope that you will find a moment to slow down your day, and visit this colorful and poetic display.  The installation will remain throughout the month of May.​
