They make a way. - Maryland Institute College of Art

The arts are especially important to Marylanders.
Ninety percent of Marylanders believe that the arts
make the state “a better place to live.”
Though the artists and designers that learn and
teach at MICA—and go forth from MICA—create
their work for different reasons, based on different
experiences, with different goals, they all have one
thing in common. They have a burning passion to be
innovative—to express themselves and their ideas
and feelings as only they can.
MICA students and
alumni’s power to tell
stories, their unique
perspective on art, and
their unique ability
to use multiple media
to explain the world as
they envision it,
all lead to a brilliant
result. They enlighten
the world.
