As a visual artist and designer, what you do matters. Your work helps clarify and illuminate complicated concepts, adding both breadth and depth. And what you do is in high demand. In fact, according to the Department of Commerce, creative industries have been growing twice as fast as the national economy. PCA&D admissions can help you meet that demand.
