The Art and Design Foundation certificate program is a hands-on, experiential program designed to meet the needs of students interested in careers in art and design. Students focus on both traditional and digital media, developing a broad-based portfolio that reflects a flexible creative palette. Students may choose to identify, for further study, a specific sector within the art and design industry and build a portfolio targeting that area. Graduates are able to demonstrate both their artistic skill and the depth of their post-secondary education.

Graduates have the opportunity to continue their studies in a wide range of creative and artistic programs at Loyalist – or other institutions – or apply their skills and talents to artistic endeavours within the community.
