MCAD's Contributions to Art and Culture in the Twin Cities

Since 1886, the Minneapolis College of Art and Design has been an essential component in the history of the Twin Cities’ art and culture scene.

MCAD faculty have cultivated a community of innovative artists, designers, and cultural leaders. Alumni, including sculptor and painter George Morrison ‘43 and award-winning photographer Pao Houa Her ‘09, have achieved success and prestige locally and globally.

President of MCAD, Sanjit Sethi, stated in a recent article published by the MinnPost, “As we look to the future, MCAD remains dedicated to being a catalyst for artistic innovation and a key contributor to the rich tapestry of arts and culture in the Twin Cities.”
