There is a gritty energy to this place, and we thrive on it. It’s central to our journey as we work, create, tears down, start over, and triumph to become passionate professionals. We build off of one another, collaborate, and solve problems together. We connect in meaningful ways to the community and take inspiration from our environment to help make our neighborhood, city, state, country, and world a better place. 

We believe in the power of art and design to reflect the world and change it.

 

A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

MIAD immerses students in art and design. Each day brings creative challenges, deadlines, and high expectations. We motivate students to reinvent how they look at, understand, and create visual work. MIAD’s focused, sequential studio program prepares students for professional careers as artists and designers. Our liberal studies courses broaden intellectual horizons by providing a solid understanding of art history, writing, the humanities, sciences, and community. These courses are integral to each student’s educational and professional development and provide a connection to the world in which our students live and thrive.
