The Exeter-West Greenwich Senior High School Visual Arts Program is a supportive and exciting course of study. It is a school within a school, made up of  incredibly gifted young adults who are curious and dedicated to the progression of their talents in the art world. 

We are devoted to the Art Pathway, to help a student have an "art major" while in high school. Each and every student uniquely challenges themselves through the use of diverse media, techniques, and styles of art across the wide variety of classes we offer here.   Our school takes pride in our reputation as one with a strong art program. We endeavor to highlight and support our students' many successes and accomplishments both during and after their time here.
