The McNeely residency
Artists among us.
Through the McNeely Family Artist Residency, established artists from around the country and the world spend an extended period on campus, working closely with students.
Residents give lectures, lead workshops, exhibit their work, create community art projects and connect with students, parents and staffulty, showing students how art builds creativity, focus, critique and planning, and why the arts matter in society.

A gift to the arts.
The residency was established in 2021 by Kevin, Rosemary and Hannah Rose McNeely ’19, whose passion for the arts in all forms led them to endow it.

Come see the arts.
The best way to understand an SA education is to see it in person. Join us for an Open House or Visit Day.
