The College of Art and Design is a
community of engaged students and faculty
committed to speculative endeavors in all
aspects of the visual arts and design disciplines.
The College community’s core is
fundamental practices while recognizing the
challenge of creative activity are met by mining
the core of traditional disciplines and exploring
the interstices between disciplines.
The College recognizes that critical
investigations in art and design occur in a
context of regional, national, and global
concerns. Theses contexts are meaningful only
when referenced to a framework of one’s
immediate cultural and physical context. The
college faculty constructs these frames of
reference through general education, discipline
specific education, interdisciplinary
investigations, creative activities, colloquia,
and community outreach.
The College’s student and faculty
collaborators value inquiry-based learning,
encourage a spirit of risk taking, excite an
appetite for thinking and making, nurture a
capacity to create, and passionately pursue the
means to capitalize on the opportunities thereby
presented.
As a key component of the arts and
cultural community, the College advances the
role of the artist/designer in the broader
community through distinctive public
education and exhibition programs that serve
the citizens of Louisiana with an enriched
appreciation of culture.
