The arts are a living and vital part of Millikin's culture, as almost a quarter of Millikin students study within the College of Fine Arts. With the large number of productions, art shows, concerts, and presentations every year, our campus is always alive with the talents of our fine arts students. All students are welcome to experience the arts at Millikin through these venues, as well as through on-campus courses and off-campus and study abroad experiences. Through our vast array of musical, theatrical, and visual arts, students are continually being challenged and changed for the better in the College of Fine Arts.

Katie Hinton : B.F.A. Studio Art 2003
 |
In 2004, Katie Hinton continued her education by attending a Post-Baccalaureate program at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD and graduated in May 2007 from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI, where she received her M.F.A. in painting. Hinton’s approach to painting was heavily influenced by Abstract Expressionism and her background in classical ballet. These influences on her paintings incorporated the representation of the body's movement through space. Hinton’s experimentation with different materials guided her into creating sculptural paintings that moved beyond pictorial space. Hinton has received The Pilchuck School of Glass Scholarship and The Women's Committee Merit Scholarship of Cranbrook Academy of Art for her studies. She has shown her work in a number of exhibitions including “Wayne State University Exchange Exhibition” in Detroit, MI, “New American Talent: The Twenty-First Exhibition” Arthouse in Austin, TX, “Artist as Mentor” at McClean County Arts Center in Bloomington IL, and the Cranbrook/Daimler Financial AG “Emerging Artist Exhibition” in Berlin, Germany. Her works are included in the Daimler Financial AG collection and the Cohen collection. She currently lives and works in Decatur, IL.
