ACAD's Stirring Culture 2: A Time to Act!

ACAD (Alberta College of Art + Design) is committed to a solid studio-based experience for students in fine art, design and new media - an experience balanced with relevant, complementary liberal studies and practical theory. The result is a rigorous studio program, which produces innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers, and visually talented students. ACAD creates a learning environment rich in character and extensive in quantity, quality and professional capability for its student body of artistic thinkers.

Stirring Culture 2: A Time to Act will provoke the conversation to prompt cultural development in Canada. This series of speakers will focus on the premise that it's time to take decisive action about how we embrace and promote cultural development.
