| Pomona's Montgomery Art Gallery offers
opportunities for display their work and view that of others. |
Artists find endless opportunities for expression at Pomona.
Each year, nearly 300 Pomona students participate in the College
choir, symphony orchestra, band, glee club, and various chamber
music and jazz ensembles.
The music department presents a varied calendar of events
supplemented by performances by faculty and visiting artists.
Private instrumental and vocal lessons, from beginning to advanced
levels, are available from professional musicians. Thatcher Music
Building and Bridges Hall of Music provide outstanding spaces for
rehearsal and performances.
Pomona's Seaver Theatre complex is used for productions ranging
from classics to contemporary plays and from Kabuki to musicals. As
with all performance groups, students from virtually every
concentration work together in performing, acting, lighting and
designing theatrical pieces.
A regular schedule of student- and faculty-directed plays and
one-acts is presented throughout the year, and each semester,
students present senior projects in which they are involved as
actor, director, designer, or playwright. All productions provide
opportunities for students to work behind the scenes as well as on
stage.

| Ballroom dance is one of the most popular activities at
Pomona. |
Dance students take a broad range of courses and perform in dance
concerts that feature works choreographed by students as well as
guest artists and faculty.
Students have organized an art gallery exclusively to display
their photography, painting, sculpture, ceramics, electronic
imaging, and mixed-media work. Each year, student artwork is shown
in Pomona's Montgomery Art Gallery, and the annual Senior Art Show
is a popular event that attracts a large crowd each spring.
Montgomery Gallery also hosts a number of exhibitions throughout
the year designed to enhance the College's curriculum and to provide
opportunities for varied aesthetic and educational experiences for
the broader community.
In addition to the regular classes taught by Pomona's art
faculty, art students from Claremont Graduate University offer a
series of informal, non-credit art classes.
