We believe the arts are central to the human experience.
Our Mission & Values
VCFA is a global community of artists continuously redefining what it means to be an arts college. We measure our success by our ability to foster the excellence of emerging and established practitioners.
By the Numbers
VCFA’s nine widely acclaimed programs (eight low-residency and one residential) offer graduate degrees in a wide range of arts disciplines. A few other notable numbers:
3772
alumnx across the US and around the world
5:1
maximum student-to-faculty ratio
$1M+

Artists, whether they’re practicing in the visual arts or the narrative arts, are storytellers and sense-makers. I think it’s the artists who propel us to envision a more perfect world.
