About Us at Visual College of Art and Design
 
 
In this ever-changing eclectic age, learning the standard micro-skill set of tools for a solid career path is no longer a guarantee for success. For you to be best-equipped to have a future in this dynamic shifting world you will have to learn how to sail with the winds of change, to be inspired by new ideas, to be ever-curious and willing to learn as you gain fresh opportunities. In short, the most valuable skill you need is probably the one you have shown you have already: CREATIVITY.

Whatever your future path, you will benefit from an atmosphere of learning that encourages you to explore and develop your creative talents.

At the VCAD College (VCAD), YOU are at the centre of our dedicated teachers' worlds. It is YOUR development they are seeking to inspire through personal hands-on exploratory learning techniques in small classes with a non-competitive atmosphere. In this college you will spend more time in the studio than any other art school we know. Six and a half hour sessions are our standard under the encouraging guidance of practicing artists whose work is displayed and sold worldwide. We don't just teach you theory; we teach you how to manifest it.

Our professionals will introduce you to the network of creative special people you want to be with. Your work will be constantly on display and ready to be sold not only in our own new gallery but also in major galleries in Victoria, and Vancouver, British Columbia.

VCAD has been in this business for thirty-five years. Now, it is expanding and seeking to become accredited for a BFA degree as well as its existing sets of art and design diplomas. Anything you take at the college, full-time or part-time, will be assigned a credit; which will count towards a diploma and ultimately a degree when it is approved.
