Overview

The Community Arts program from Maryland Institute College of Art provides you with a thorough grounding in theory and practice, beginning with coursework that highlights the relationship between the artist, art, and community.

Real-world experience that integrates independent artmaking with community-based projects provides you with the opportunity to investigate how artists help communities articulate their own unique creative identity, and how these communities, in turn, inspire the students' own creative expression.
