Bard College Fund for Visual Learning

The Fund for Visual Learning at Bard College provides material support to students with financial need so that they might achieve studio art work of quality and ambition.

Since 2014, the FVL has provided grants for an ambitious range of diverse student art projects.

The Fund for Visual Learning began in 2014 to improve access to the Studio Arts program for students experiencing financial challenges, and to enrich classroom and campus experiences for all.

In Studio Arts, we pay attention to the stresses and sacrifices that our students and their families are making to pursue Studio Arts at Bard, and the Fund for Visual Learning offers support.

In welcoming and supporting all students to Studio Arts with the help of the Fund, the vitality of our Studio Arts program has increased and we hope to continue to see this grow.

To date, the Fund For Visual Learning has supported over $300,000 in funding to students for introductory supply kits and over $10,000 to senior project grants.
