Friends of the School of Art and Design

The Friends of the School of Art and Design is a membership-based program that supports scholarships, programs, and projects for students and faculty. As a Friend of SoAD, you will receive unique opportunities throughout the year including special access to exhibitions, unique workshops just for friends, and exclusive access to special SoAD events. Most importantly, your annual contribution helps the School recruit and retain talented students and supports the work of the faculty.
