About Us

The faculty consists of professional artists and designers who offer students the opportunity to gain the insight, knowledge, and up-to-date skills of today’s artists. 

duCret School of the Arts helps bring together students of all levels with experts to study specific mediums while furthering an individual’s artistic expression. Our location in Plainfield, New Jersey, a city with 10 Historic Architectural Districts, has helped anchor our students and staff within a place that prides itself on its history and diversity. We have maintained long-standing relationships with the city, its residents, and the community of local artists by holding lectures, open studio hours, children’s art programs, workshops, exhibitions, and performances.
