The nation’s oldest independent, fully accredited, degree-granting college of art, MICA has a long history of creative community engagement and is dedicated to the development and advancement of community arts models at several levels:
- Through its Master of Arts in Community Arts (MACA), under the umbrella of the College’s national Center for Art Education, MICA prepares graduate-level students in the art of building community through collaboration in the arts.
- Through its nationally renowned Community Arts Partnerships program (CAP), MICA has since 1998 supported ongoing community-based art projects that enrich the lives of children and families, unify and strengthen neighborhoods, and provide valuable professional development and social engagement experiences for MICA students.
- With real-world projects in collaboration with communities through MICA’s graphic design, environmental design, illustration, and fine arts departments, students and faculty are engaging in work that focuses on public health education, urban development, historic preservation, and empowering the voice of communities throughout Baltimore and the surrounding region.
