Founded in 1873, MassArt has a unique legacy of leadership as the first freestanding, public college of art and design in the country, and the nation’s first art school to grant a degree. Our mission is both lofty and grounded: To prepare students from diverse backgrounds to become leaders in the creative economy, and for them to positively impact every society they join. Here is the place where you can grow into the artist, designer, or educator that you’ve always wanted to be — in our fearless, dynamic, experimental, entrepreneurial, open, edgy, curious, if-you-can-dream-it-you-can-be-it-community. MassArt alumni have long been change agents in Boston and beyond, driven by independence, entrepreneurship, and passion.
