MIAD
At the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, students' artistic and intellectual
development begins on the first day of class. From that day on, students are in the
studio drawing, working on a computer, or sculpting a three-dimensional form. MIAD
immerses students in art and design. Each day brings creative challenges, deadlines,
and high expectations. We motivate students to reinvent the ways they look at, understand, and create
visual work. MIAD's focused, sequential studio program prepares students for professional careers as
artists and designers. Our liberal studies courses broaden intellectual horizons by providing a strong
understanding of art history, writing, the humanities, sciences, and community. These courses are an
integral part of each student's educational and professional development and provide connection to
the world in which our students live and thrive.
