About RISD - Rhode Island School of Design

RISD is a college and museum founded in Providence, RI in 1877, where making starts with a question, creativity sparks progress and challenging the status quo is the norm. Today, our community of 2,518 students engaged in 44 full-time bachelor’s and master’s degree programs cultivates a critical exchange of ideas between artists, designers and scholars that will help to shape the future. Through a cross-disciplinary curriculum of studio-based learning and rigorous study in the liberal arts, RISD students are encouraged to develop their own personal creative processes, but are united by one guiding principle: in order to create, one must question. Rhode Island School of Design welcomes your opinions and encourages open discussion in a respectful and meaningful way. RISD reserves the right to remove any comments that harass, abuse, threaten or violate the rights of others.
