The CalArts community was deeply saddened to hear the news regarding the closure of California College of the Arts (CCA). Now, more than ever, it’s important to remember that arts education, rigorous training, and critical thinking still matters.
We know that as a student, your education isn’t just a set of classes, it’s your home, your studio, and your community. Navigating an unexpected change is a heavy burden, both logistically and emotionally, and we want you to know that we stand with you during this transition.
CalArts shares that same DNA of radical creativity and boundary-pushing that defined your time at CCA. If you are looking for a place to continue your practice and find a new artistic home, we would love to help you find your way here.
CalArts offers rigorous BFA and MFA programs designed for artists who want to challenge the status quo.
Our mission has always been to champion creative excellence and the development of new forms of expression. If our community feels like the right fit for your next chapter, we’ve outlined the most important next steps to make this transition as smooth as possible.
