We emphasize ideas and process, and are dedicated to teaching art making and critical thinking in concert. At the same time, we see tactile work, artistic practice, and the liberty to experiment as indispensable.

Be you!

Being creative isn’t about being the first (or only) person to think of an idea. More often, creativity is about connecting ideas.

Expressive

Visual artists are driven by their passion to express themselves through their work and are motivated their surroundings.
