As a General Fine Arts student at MICA, you can customize your experience by drawing from MICA's full range of fine arts courses. While doing so, you will explore a wide range of media, becoming a resourceful and versatile artist with the technical skills to pursue an array of options in the contemporary creative marketplace with confidence.
GFA students are able to shape their major from the full range of courses offered by MICA's fine arts departments.
Students in this program tend to be independent, enjoy incorporating an array of mediums into their work, and are highly motivated to become versatile artists. As a GFA major, you select courses to create a program of study that is interdisciplinary, theme centered, or of some other cross-media or multimedia construction.
GFA majors benefit from the facilities at MICA’s Fred Lazarus IV Studio Center, a historic industrial building just a short walk from the central campus.
Located in Baltimore’s Station North Arts & Entertainment District, it includes independent studio space for upper-division students in drawing, painting, and GFA. The facility also allows you to rub elbows with MICA’s graduate students and be a part of a strong community of graduate and undergraduate fine artists.
GFA alumni not only create across a variety of media, they work in diverse fields.
Alumni include:
“They challenged me to define success, beauty, and art on my own terms, reminding me that art isn’t a destination or competition.” Antonius Bui ’16
“I'm fortunate to have gotten to be in a space that pushed how I thought about design and visual language. I know my education has allowed me to navigate creative spaces I otherwise may have never had access to, and I credit a lot of that to the influence of the facility and staff.” Sam Acuff ’15
“There's no place quite like it in the world. Magical and rare air always fills the MICA classrooms.”
MICA’s innovative curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities and world-class faculty come together to support a single purpose: provide a no-holds-barred education and experience that will prepare you to be a creative leader in the 21st century.
