On February 5, our community came together to celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
Visual Arts
Our students bring incredible energy to the art studios in every division at Kent Place and we encourage them to develop their imaginations to create and innovate as they experiment with visual language.
Our faculty help students understand design and the process behind it, develop traditional and tech-based artistic skills, expand their visual and creative thinking, and become aesthetically aware.
They will view and assess diverse historical and contemporary art from different traditions with multi-cultural awareness. This is achieved through classroom examples, as well as field trips that take advantage of the museums in New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia and through exhibitions in the Kent Place Gallery.
The Visual Arts Department fosters student confidence and appreciation for art making's holistic, restorative power. Ultimately, students will gain the tools to become cultivators of their visions in a range of media.

It was during my AP Portfolio class that I first learned to step out into the world as an artist with a clear purpose. Art making is about so much more than putting paint on canvas, and my experience at KPS taught me to value all of the influences that inspire me and use them to create art. What I appreciate most about my time as a KPS art student is that I was challenged to write and think about art, to consider it within a larger social context, and to use it as a tool to help me understand the world.Kyla, Alumna
