Create a life and an art that is intentional, useful, healthy and harmonious.

Dwight’s Visual and Performing Arts Department uses a professional model in an educational setting. This Department operates on the belief that students of all ages have artistic talents and gifts that are meaningful not only to themselves but to other people in the Dwight community, the city, in local neighborhoods, and even around the world. Students undergo a rigorous and fulfilling schedule that gives them opportunities to perform and present their work several times a year in connection with professional arts in New York City. Casting directors, agents, dance companies, fashion shows, galleries, film festivals, and charitable and community organizations collaborate with Dwight students. Dwight student artists are given every opportunity to become part of the arts world—locally, nationally and internationally. The Department includes the following four core areas: Visual Arts, Music, Dance, and Theater.
