Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design

For all who bring imagination to market

Transdisciplinary ... transformative ... transcendent.

History has always been made by innovators—those who see a block of limestone and dream of a sculpture, who touch fabric and envision a gown, and who see samples of wood and stone and design a kitchen.

These artists, designers, and entrepreneurs transform their societies as surely and as magically as they transform the materials with which they work.

The Sidney and Lois Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design now brings this same spirit and creative energy to campus. For the first time, our distinguished programs in art, design, and merchandising are integrated to provide a comprehensive experience for our students.

And with the launch of For All: The Indiana University Bicentennial Campaign, there simply could not be a more opportune moment for private support to shape the future of this exciting new school.

Our Priorities

Enable promising students to pursue their passion for art, design, and merchandising

Merit-based and need-based undergraduate scholarships are essential tools for supporting young talent and encouraging promising students to pursue their interest in the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design.

Graduate fellowships are equally important. They allow the School to attract advanced students with proven creative talent who can inspire undergraduates, their peers, and even the faculty members who mentor them. Our graduate students strengthen our programs through their creativity and contributions in both the classroom and the studio.

Establish an unparalleled faculty and support their teaching and research

The Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design must be able to provide all of our faculty members with ongoing support for research and professional development. In addition, endowed chairs and professorships allow us to effectively compete on a national and international level, and to make strategic investments in our faculty.

Craft a progressive curriculum that produces creative leaders

The Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design aims above all to give our students an education in risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and critical thinking. Doing so requires that our faculty have the equipment and resources to teach in pioneering ways that engage and inspire our students.

Provide experiences that enrich and extend the classroom

In order for students to enter the job market with clarity and confidence, they must have both a high-quality classroom experience and high-impact educational experiences beyond the classroom.

Build spaces that inspire the best learning and creativity

To enhance our vibrant culture of making and building, we need the best equipment, the most current technology, and the most engaging classroom environments possible.
