A liberal arts college with a strong visual art department?
Hello, I’m a high school junior and I’m looking for a liberal arts college with a good visual art department. I’d prefer one that’s not in an isolated setting, but that’s not really important right now. If anyone can aid my search, I’d be much obliged!

A few nice art institute online images I found:
Salk Institute of Biological Studies
Image by Penn State Libraries Pictures Collection
Creator: Kahn, Louis I., 1901-1974
Date: 1959-1965
Current location: La Jolla, San Diego, California, U.S.A.
Description of work: Distant view from sea side, Salk Institute of Biological Studies, La Jolla, CA. "A major part of its programme was the monumental representation of a new institution in a new location, and Kahn responded with a site plan that echoed his Beaux-Arts training: two study/laboratory wings flank a formal axial courtyard with a view to the sea; they were to have been connected by oblique linking paths to a village-like residential area and a meeting building. Mechanical services for the laboratories are accommodated in walk-through inter-floor spaces, a method that became standard practice in hospitals and laboratories." – Anderson, Grove Art Online
