  TESTIMONIAL

"Without a doubt, what makes this program so special is it’s deep sense of community that I feel here amongst the students, faculty and staff. It feels great to know that while they all want to support my growth as an artist, it’s just as important to them that I also grow as a person. Each one of us matters."

Josue Romero, Class of 2019
