DO ART
At GSA, we carefully cater our curriculum to hone students’ creativity and craft. There is an intense focus on developing skills within our own artform, but with such a diverse and strong faculty, we use this opportunity to collaborate between disciplines. We aim to create talented and well versed artists at all levels.” —Mark Richards, Architecture + Design faculty chair, GSA Alum 2004 Ben Sollee

Community and collaboration become new ways of thinking for students and absolutely change the way many of them look at art and at themselves.� —Katelyn York, Co-Residential Supervisor 2014, GSA Alum 2008
