The theory and practice of the dynamics between an image and an idea are presented to students in the VACD program. Project-based learning is also available through courses with research and service-learning components aimed at knowledge transfer and community engagement. We provide quality education, research supervision and career advice for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in a collegial and supportive environment. Our VACD program also offers experiential, object- and skill-based learning through fieldtrips, studio practice, curatorial training and internships.
