History
Edward A. “Tink” Adams was an advertising man with a radical idea in education: to teach real-world skills to artists and designers and prepare them for leadership roles in advertising, publishing and industrial design. To achieve that, he would create a faculty of working professionals from those fields. ArtCenter opened in 1930 with Adams serving as its director.

Reflectiving a my College Experience
NCAD has had an impact on my view on life, both as an artist and as a person. It has taught me a lot of lessons by exposing and broadening my horizons to various methods and subjects that I would have naturally been fixed to. It has broadened my view on fine art in terms of where I can take it, what it means to me, and so on.
I love studying at NCAD
Incredible what you can learn here but it does depend on how much the student put in. Some departments are shocking but sculpture is very well ran. Can only speak from my own experience but I love this course and everything I am learning. Not enough technicians and staff for the volume of students though.
NCAD review
My experience of NCAD has been satisfactory to date. The college can be commended for their effort in giving each student a well rounded education in Art and Design by constantly holding workshops, lectures, skills classes, etc. to allow us to achieve our full potential.
