Members of the MICA community are endowed with unique talents that they develop and refine throughout their careers. Though these abilities are distinct, they are strengthened through a common process as visual makers, everyday, experiment with ideas, take risks, and gain experiences that allow them to obtain the confidence and courage needed to actualize their full potential.

What this means in practice is that artists and designers are always moving forward. And in doing so, they also use their talents to influence their communities — and society — no matter where they are in their creative journey. Read more about the many ways our alumni, students, and faculty are doing just this, taking their unique gifts and giving them to the world, driving culture, contemporary aesthetics, joy, justice, and human resiliency for everyone.
