Arts & Music

Welcome to the multi-disciplinary Department of Arts and Languages. The department encompasses the major disciplines of Art, and Music. Our faculty offer a wealth of scholarship and experience over a broad spectrum.

The foundation of the department has been established through the accomplishments of many outstanding, creative and innovative scholars of the University. In the area of Music, acclaimed musicians Matthew Kennedy and Kaye George Roberts have served Fisk and the nation with their talents, and the award-winning Jubilee Singers continue the legacy to inspire audiences with their moving choral performances of Negro Spirituals. Artists Aaron Douglass and Greg Ridley instructed numerous students and shared innovative and beautiful works of art on display at Fisk and in the community at large.
