Studio Arts

In Mercersburg’s studio arts program, students learn to take risks and master their fear of making mistakes. Courses include media ranging from ceramics to digital video art, sculpture, painting, and drawing. Student artwork is displayed in the Sheridan Gallery, in the Burgin Center for the Arts, and across the campus.

What’s more, Mercersburg students regularly win prizes in juried arts competitions. In 2006, seven Mercersburg Academy students received Gold or Silver Key Awards in art at the Central Pennsylvania Regional Scholastic Arts Awards, the longest-running and most prestigious awards program for creative young students in the United States.
