NSCAD University alumni have been untraditional since 1887 – and that’s just the way we like it.
As a NSCAD alum, you are fiercely independent, and you don’t worry about fitting in. “Go along to get along” isn’t your style – never has been, never will be.
You see things differently, and you’re willing to stand up for the things that matter to you and to your community.
Head, heart, hand – making art is a whole-body experience.
You are an individual, not afraid to think, act, or be anything but yourself. You appreciate the company of others who question the status quo and imagine new possibilities.
NSCAD University is not a collection of buildings and studios. It’s people – past, present and future.
You are NSCAD, and you belong here.
