We believe the arts are central to the human experience.
Our Mission & Values
VCFA is a global community of artists continuously redefining what it means to be an arts college. We measure our success by our ability to foster the excellence of emerging and established practitioners.
By the Numbers
VCFA’s nine widely acclaimed programs (eight low-residency and one residential) offer graduate degrees in a wide range of arts disciplines. A few other notable numbers:
3698

Artists take the ineffable, wrestle it to the ground, and make it understandable for others. This, more than anything, speaks to the heart of our mission here at VCFA.
