CCAD Stories

Fifteen years ago, two friends — Nand Dussault and Andy Hayes (Advertising & Graphic Design, Class of 2001) — collaborated on a piece for the Columbus Society of Communicating Arts to promote a visiting speaker and graphic designer, Chip Kidd.

Columbus' Short North boasts 15 diverse art galleries. ROY G BIV, founded by CCAD grads, champions emerging artists with unique, non-profit support.

Shading Art Director from Pixar, Bryn Imagire visited CCAD. She came to give a one-hour presentation about the art and story of Pixar’s upcoming film, The Good Dinosaur.

With early action deadline for admissions, just around the corner, here are a few things to remember when applying to CCAD

CCAD's Market (Cafeteria) has a variety of food for students, it's open for community members as well. Freshman who live on campus, automatically get a lot of swipes on their ID as a meal plan. But the Market also has student discounts for those who only want to dine every once in a while.

Having digital copies of your artwork can prove invaluable to any artist. You can use them when applying to colleges, participating in contests, or when displaying your work on a website or blog.

It’s not hard to tell when you’ve stepped onto an art school’s campus. When you are gathered by hundreds of artists who are passionate about expressing themselves as diversely as possible, you’re going to see some rather strange sights.
