Visual & Performing Arts
School of Visual & Performing Arts
Seton Hill has a passion for the arts. It is reflected in the work of students and faculty who thrive as a community of artists, musicians, performers, therapists and educators. It has also been the foundation of successful careers in many other fields, including law, communication, government and business.
Centers that Inspire Creativity
Seton Hill's Arts Center and Performing Arts Center, a block apart in Greensburg’s historic cultural district, provide dynamic and inspiring learning, performing and exhibition venues for the talented students and faculty of Seton Hill's community of artists.

Arts Experience is Good for All Majors
Participation in the arts hones skills that are necessary in every field - from public speaking to "thinking on your feet" to finding creative solutions to problems. At Seton Hill, you don’t have to be an arts major to perform, create art, make music, or learn costume and set design. Here, the arts are for everyone.
Community Arts Program
Seton Hill’s Community Arts Program provides private music and dance lessons and performance opportunities for members of the local community and their children. Seton Hill students can get involved in the Community Arts Program in a number of ways.
