Studio Angelico, the name of the building that houses the Art Program at Siena Heights University, has been a center for art and art education for more than 60 years. Named for Fra Angelico, the Renaissance painter of the Dominican Order who lived in 15th century Florence, the Studio continues a long tradition of valuing quality, creativity, craftsmanship, and reflection in the making of art.

The SHU Art Program has been a member in good standing of the National Schools of Art and Design, the only national accreditation agency for art, since 1988. There are approximately 100 students who major in art at Siena Heights. Siena Heights prepares students to become professional artists, teach or work in a variety of arts-related fields.

Klemm Gallery, named for legendary Siena Heights faculty member Sister Jeannine Klemm, OP, is housed within Studio Angelico. The gallery hosts many shows and exhibitions throughout the year. For the schedule and more gallery information, visit the Studio Angelico website.
