CalArts Weekend

Become a CalArtian for the weekend!

Join us for an exciting and immersive CalArts experience. Over the course of two days, be among the hundreds of family members who deepen their appreciation of this unique artistic and educational community. Take part in specially designed workshops and classes, view cutting-edge art exhibitions and performances, and meet and mingle with Institute leadership and faculty.

Building on the excitement of last year, we are preparing an all-new schedule. Highlights include: a panel of leaders in the creative economy on professional preparation and life after graduation, a Town Hall meeting with distinguished new Provost Dr. Jeannene Przyblyski, and a rousing Saturday night finale, Art/Rock/Orchestra, presented in The Wild Beast Music Pavilion.
