The curriculum weaves together practice within contemporary art, interaction design, social media, participation art, and new media. Students learn skills where creative social media and software experts are in such high demand. Our faculty are some of the most innovative artists and designers working in Vancouver today.

Top 10 Things to Consider When Choosing an Art School

If you have an interest in an education at an art, design and media institution, it’s crucial that you do some research on your end. By this point, some of you have already applied to a host of art, design and media schools for the fall 2012 intake and are waiting on your letters of acceptance.

During this time, it’s best to weigh out your options with each institution and draw up a list of pros and cons. I’ve compiled a decent foundation for your list, whether you’ve applied for this fall, or are currently in research mode and are considering a possible application in the future.
