Why Fine Arts and Design?

Welcome to the College of Fine Arts and Design (CFAD) at the University of Sharjah, where creativity flourishes alongside community engagement and originality knows no bounds. Here, we transcend traditional boundaries to advance art, design, culture, and heritage through collaborations with public and semi-public entities. Our unique approach provides students with early exposure to the public sphere, fostering meaningful dialogue and interaction beyond the confines of the campus. Through partnerships with local stakeholders, students unlock their creative potential and reach new artistic heights, contributing to a dynamic environment deeply rooted in Sharjah's rich cultural heritage.
