School General Description

MassArt is grounded in history, creativity, and foresight. Every era requires vision as part of its progress, and MassArt was founded on a vision of the future that included all citizens in its gaze. Started as a revolutionary idea, MassArt continues to look toward what is extraordinary and cutting-edge - and who will lead the way - in art, design, and education. The students engage deeply with the world outside their studios and classrooms, and our community is broad, influential, and encompassing. MassArt is the Commonwealth’s art and design school, a place with wide reach, where the hardest, most important, and most rewarding work of our students, staff, and affiliates, is to keep our eyes open and continue expanding our vision.
