Abstract
From the beginning of the College, creative work in the visual arts has been judged to have equal standing as a discipline with the other fields usually found in the liberal arts curriculum....Perhaps the greatest virtue of art as a discipline lies in this - that every aesthetic problem basically originates with the individual and can find satisfying solution only in the autonomous efforts of that person...The uniqueness or near uniqueness in the position of art at Bennington lies in the fact that acceptance of it as an integral part of the curriculum is an operating and effective reality, not just a policy on paper.
