VCFA Alumni Road Trip exhibition

The exhibition ROAD TRIP as visually interpreted by Vermont College of Fine Art Graphic Design Alumni. This exhibition includes twelve graphic designers individual works along with a collaborative piece that has taken its own “Road Trip”. The piece is traveling from the East to West Coast and parts in-between. The traditional definition of “a road trip” is an adventure that one goes on with family or friends creating memories. This Road Trip is about connection and reconnection, the literal, metaphorical, personal and internal journeys we’ve taken.

The Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design is one of the nation’s first low-residency programs in graphic design that is built around a student’s individual interests and goals.

The MFA in Graphic Design is an immersive two-year graduate program that synthesizes five intense, one-week residencies with four six-month semesters of independent study with a range of faculty mentors. We educate students towards the broader context of design in order to investigate and reveal relationships. We see Graphic Design as a social tool and design education as a process of social transformation.

Our innovative, highly effective pedagogical model has its roots in the progressive educational philosophies of John Dewey. Our student-centered approach allows students to develop individualized study plans, addressing design issues that support their particular interests, values, and goals.

MFA students in our Graphic Design program will develop skills in form, content and craft, deepen and expand critical ability, build fluency in contemporary design discourse, and expand their ability to drive content with their work.

Graduates emerge with new research methods, critical acumen, and a body of design work that is personal and relevant; one which enhances their professional and academic path. They will have learned to continuously rethink design by considering cultural context, relationships between designers and their work, and the nature of education within design.
