Support CVAD

Art has been a vital part of the University of North Texas since it was first taught in 1894. UNT's College of Visual Arts and Design is a thriving community of more than 2,300 students who receive superior training in an environment where imagination, creativity and individual expression are nurtured. You can see our recent activities on our website or in the Avant-Garde, our newsletter for CVAD alumni and friends.

The College of Visual Arts and Design depends upon financial support from individuals, businesses, foundations and other organizations for scholarships, visiting artists, faculty enrichment, and program support for each of the departments and hallmark institutes. Gifts may be unrestricted or directed toward a specific endowment or project and are tax-deductible. Please make your contribution today and join us in our tradition of excellence.

The CVAD Annual Fund

Gifts to the College of Visual Arts and Design Annual Fund allow the College to pursue excellence. These gifts insure that CVAD can attract top graduate and undergraduate students through scholarships and also make possible our visiting artists/scholar programs, faculty enrichment opportunities, and support for the hallmark institutes housed within the College of Visual Arts and Design. If you think your gifts aren't important, think again. Your support helps secure the arts for future generations.
