Thinking about applying to art schools in Minnesota and would love some recommendations. What are some of the most reputable art programs there that focus on modern art or design?
Sure, I'd love to point you toward a few school recommendations in Minnesota with strong art programs. One of the universally recognized institutions in Minnesota is the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). MCAD offers a wide range of courses covering modern art and design, including degrees in illustration, painting, photography, and graphic design.
The University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus also has a strong art program under its College of Design. They provide a diverse range of art studies, including product design, graphic design, interior design, retail merchandising, and apparel design. They focus on both historical and contemporary modern art, so you can connect older techniques with modern concepts.
In addition, St. Olaf College is known for its liberal arts education and offers a robust art program where you can focus on areas such as graphic design, drawing, painting, or media studies within a broader curriculum.
Each of these schools allows for a deep dive into modern art and design while providing unique opportunities and environments. As you make your decision, I'd recommend looking into the coursework at each school, considering the faculty, the facilities, partnerships with local arts organizations, and opportunities for internships or exhibitions to see which one would best suit your specific interests and career goals.
