The CalArts Library is more than just an art library; it’s a vital, multi-disciplinary resource for artists, dedicated to the unique needs of the California Institute of the Arts’ students, faculty, and staff.
We support the students by providing extensive collections that span traditional media, contemporary art, and emerging technologies. Our holdings include specialized books, rare artist’s books, films, scores, and sound recordings. It’s a place for research, collaboration, and inspiration, offering study spaces, archives, and expert guidance to fuel the next generation of creative practitioners.
