The Arts are a big part of Bethany! Our students are always at work on a theatre production, a new choral piece, or their latest still-life drawing.
Find opportunities to challenge and reward your unique talents and develop that love into genuine excellence. As you equip yourself for a career as a creative professional, you will be supported and encouraged by Bethany’s talented faculty.
Recruit Me!
We value your talent! Whether it’s theatre, music, or any type of visual or media art, we want you to fill out a form to be recruited!
Scholarships available for Music, Theatre, Visual, and Media Arts.
Art, Music, and Theatre Facilities
Our commitment to the arts is reflected in the quality of our facilities. Most of these are housed in the Ylvisaker Fine Arts Center, but others are found around campus.
