Art, design, and the human imagination are transcendent forces, and among the values that connect the MICA community is the belief that these elements are fundamental to building a just and viable world for people everywhere. That includes using creativity to make art and advance solutions that foster environmental awareness and ecological sustainability.
At a time when the impact of human activity on our planet is more evident than ever, the work of the College’s alumni, students, and faculty in this area is crucial. And whether they are using their expertise to retrofit or inventively reuse existing objects, exploring art and design’s relationship with emerging biotechnologies, or employing the visual arts to amplify our connection with nature, MICA’s community is focused on building a more sustainable, resilient future for everyone.
