The School of the Arts of Virginia Commonwealth University had, as its beginning, a sculpture course offered in 1926. In 1928, a one-faculty art department was formed under the direction of Miss Theresa Pollak and since that date, has become one of the largest art schools in the United States, achieving national recogni- tion through its quality programs in the visual and performing arts.

In 1969, the Department of Dramatic Art and Speech and the School of Music, formerly independent units within VCU, were combined with the visual arts depart- ments of the School of Art to form the present School of the Arts.

The School of the Arts is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and the National Association of Schools of Music and offers a rich and unique concept of graduate study for students in the visual and performing arts. It is one of the few state-aided professional art schools in the nation with a professional curriculum within a combined academic and professional environment. Located within an urban complex of higher education, students are provided not only with the advantages of comprehensive university facilities, but also with cultural opportuni- ties offered in the greater Richmond community, including activities generated by over 50 museums and galleries and perform- ances by nationally and internationally acclaimed arts organizations.

Graduate students study with faculty who are dedicated educators and who also are committed professional artists, designers and scholars. Each year, both faculty and students of the School of the Arts are hon- ored with prestigious regional and national awards which attest to the school’s high quality of instruction and commitment to excellence.
