There is a place where dreams are realized. Where goals are set, reached, and extended in a non-repetitive pattern of personal growth. Where being uniquely individual and fitting in nicely are somehow naturally compatible. And where the seeds of a career pursuing your art are irrepressibly sown within your soul.

This place is Memphis College of Art.

Here in Memphis, a city soaked in culture, MCA has existed for 80 years as a veritable artist’s colony where access to a professionally geared education is available to those whose passions burn brightest.

Flourish within a campus being constantly updated and expanded to make it increasingly conducive to living the life of an artist.

This is our nature. If it sounds like a place you’d like to be, join us. You’ll find the possibilities here are endless.
