Founded in 1909, the School of Art is an incubator of inclusive and expansive programming in the visual arts composed of workshops and one-on-one time with mentors covering all media. The curriculum intentionally breaks apart the traditional methods that silo disciplines from each other and instead embraces a full range of studio and pragmatic studies including professional development for artists, the art of pedagogy, writing in the 21st century, archiving and the relevance of art history today. Our program is inclusive, which is reflected not only by those who teach at CVA, but also by the knowledge they share.

Please check back in winter of 2023 for information on the 2024 residency program.
