Celebrating MICA’s Faculty

This November, MICA proudly celebrates the transformative power of education and the extraordinary educators who inspire creativity, encourage exploration, and shape the next generation of artists and designers.

In honor of National Education Week, November 16-21, we’re shining a spotlight on three remarkable members of MICA’s faculty community, past and present:  Connie Imboden,  Hope Simpara, and  Melissa Webb ’96.

Through their dedication to teaching, artistic practice, and mentorship, these educators exemplify the lasting impact of creative education. Their contributions extend far beyond the classroom, inspiring students to discover their voices, challenge conventions, and pursue their creative potential.

Join us in celebrating these and all the educators who make MICA a place where creativity, curiosity, and learning thrive!

Thank you for inspiring generations of artists and creative thinkers.
