NCAD: The Creative Spirit

A creative life today explores traditional image-making combined with what seems to be unlimited technology. It is truly an incredible time to be an artist and designer.

We believe in you and can help you become the creative professional you know you can be.

NCAD: Art is both a Business and a Passion

At NCAD, professional artists are created through a sequential and comprehensive curriculum; a knowledgeable and professional faculty; a campus environment that is inspiring and supportive to the creative spirit and a dual emphasis on individualism and job placement.

NCAD: Artists Must Make Art

Artists must make art. We must be knowledgeable, develop a strong sense of curiosity, be aware of both traditional techniques and current technology, and have the courage to be truly original.

— Craig Freeman
