The power of design and the arts
A time of change and turmoil demands the optimistic creative vision of design and the arts.We believe in big ideas and limitless imagination.
We believe in the beauty and truth of design as the nexus of life, art, science and technology. We believe in optimism and bravery, in generosity and possibility.
That is why, through the Changing Futures campaign, we are investing in the creative power of young people and the emerging generation of all ages committed to a creative and abundant world.
We believe in the power of a creative individual to change the world and make history.

Make a difference in the lives of our students

“As a first-generation college student from a low-income background, that support made all the difference, allowing me to focus entirely on growing as a designer and professional. I’m incredibly grateful to every person and organization that invested in my education, because this is only the beginning.”
— Eryn Enright, ASU FIDM
