Madison Who’s Who

“Paier College of Art is proud of its half-century tradition of training and educating artists. We are even prouder of the achievements of our students and alumni, who continue to receive high recognition from organizations representing the best in their chosen field and to enjoy the rewards of successful careers in the visual arts.

Although the tools and methods of art are constantly changing, the strengths of our college have not. Computers have indeed become an important part of the artist’s portfolio. These technologies are reflected in all our departments, and the computer labs are well equipped with the current hardware and software. However, at Paier, computers are not an exclusive focus. In many respects, as the power of digital imaging and communication increases, the need for artistic fundamentals becomes even more important.

Recognizing that, our Foundation Year studies are still executed in pencil, pen, brush, and camera. The Academic Department also offers challenging courses in the liberal arts, contributing to the development of the literate artist. Those who have the desire and ability to develop as artists are a select few. Paier College is dedicated to them–the future leaders in craft, communication, and culture.”
