Elevating Expression
The World of Fine Arts
Develop your artistic expression and experience on stage, through exhibitions and behind the camera or curtain — across our community and in the classroom.
Deepen your connection to the arts through student organizations, groups and venues. Join with professionals to produce and perform a wide range of music and theater. View and participate in art exhibits on campus and interact with nationally respected visiting artists. Stretch your theatrical talents in creative classics and experimental plays.
On any given week during the academic school year, experience a sampling of entertaining and educational events open to the community.
Robert W. Regier Art Gallery
On campus, the Robert W. Regier Gallery features rotating exhibitions in all media from regional and national artists. Each spring, two exhibits are dedicated to showcasing Bethel’s art students.
Music & Theater
Jazz ensembles, vocal performances, operas, dramas and musicals are just some of Bethel’s fine arts events. Better yet, most of these events are free and open to the public, such as the professional-grade recitals offered by students and faculty in the music department.
Choral Ensembles
Vocal music is at the heart of our community. Since its founding in 1887, Bethel College students have made music an essential part of their college experience. Music in Worship occurs weekly during Wednesday Chapel services. Students have opportunities to lead music on the campus ministries worship team or by singing in Chapel Choir.
Instrumental Ensembles
A quarter of the student body participates in music in some way.
