<p>Hello- my daughter is a junior this year in high school and we are beginning our college search. She does very well academically and has strengths in math, science and visual and performing arts. She would like to apply to schools with both a strong academic reputation and great visual/performing arts programs. We would appreciate some perspective on Princeton's art departments and programs. Thank you.</p>
<p>I suggest you start by reading the information on the Lewis Center. [Welcome</a> - Lewis Center for the Arts](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/arts/]Welcome”>Lewis Center for the Arts - Princeton in service of the imagination) Princeton has committed $300 million to expanding the arts at the university. The visual/performing arts are live and well at Princeton. Also see [McCarter</a> Theatre](<a href=“404 | McCarter Theatre Center”>404 | McCarter Theatre Center)</p>
