Dear Friends and Supporters,I am pleased to share MCAD’s 2023–2024 Annual Community Report. Reflecting on the past several years, I am struck by the profound impact the MCAD experience has on everyday lives. MCAD alumni have won countless awards, ranging from Guggenheim Fellowships to Emmys. Alumni work is collected by internationally recognized museums, like the Smithsonian and Walker Art Center, featured at the Whitney Biennial, and showcased at galleries across the globe. Their talent is present in large corporations like Target, Apple, General Mills, Disney, and Pixar in addition to countless small, vibrant businesses. MCAD alumni are seen as innovative engines wherever they go.While our focus on cultivating creative leaders, entrepreneurs, designers, and artists remains constant, the dynamic cultural landscape of the Twin Cities continues to evolve at a rapid pace. As the leading art and design college in the region, we recognize our important role as a talent pipeline for the creative community and beyond, and prepare our students to be well-equipped for meaningful and valuable careers. You play a vital role in our success. Thanks in great part to you, our generous donors, the college’s curriculum, academic offerings, and top-notch facilities continue to meet the needs of an ever-changing world. Additionally, well over $1M in donor-funded awards has been granted this academic year, helping to make an MCAD education affordable to all with exceptional talent and drive to succeed.Please take a few moments to peruse our Annual Community Report. On behalf of everyone at MCAD, thank you for your support of the college and our students.
