From the physical objects used at work and play, to the creative works that inform and inspire, our cultural experiences connect us. They give meaning to our individual and collective existence, and ultimately define the values and beliefs that shape our local communities and our global conscience.

And art – and artmakers – reflect, influence, and drive those cultural experiences.

Following are a few of the ways in which MICA and the members of its community are both impacting and observing the way we live today. They are driving modern aesthetics, using their talents to educate and entertain — demonstrating, everyday, that creativity has the power to influence culture and shape contemporary society.
