Alumni

Artists. Creators. Educators. Changemakers. Our alums shape the world in their own way. They have the power to inspire and provoke, to ask and answer, and enrich communities with their work and passion. 

We’re proud of all our alums, whether they go on to enjoy art-related careers or other vocations such as marketing, tech and entrepreneurialism. And we encourage them to stay connected to their alma mater as they continue to fuel the fire of their vision.

Give

It’s tough to put a price on an art education, as it offers immeasurable possibilities for your future. But the fact remains that higher education is difficult for many to afford. At the School of Art, we’re doing all we can to make art education accessible to all aspiring artists. Give back to the next generation of talented young students by offering your financial support to the school.

We greatly appreciate your donation, which will help us continue to offer competitive scholarships, state-of-the-art studio space and classrooms, and a high-quality education that fuels our students’ limitless potential. Your support also enables us to continue to present exhibitions by our innovative students and faculty, as well as visiting artists.
