Plan Your Visit
Come visit a place designed for someone like you.
Welcome to your creative playground! At CCAD, we embrace both the perfectly organized and the beautifully messy – because that's where the magic happens.
Step into our studios and you'll see what we mean. Paint splatters tell stories of happy accidents. Scattered sketches capture lightning-bolt moments of inspiration. Half-finished models hint at tomorrow's innovations. This is where your creative instincts run wild and your boldest ideas come to life.
Ready to jump in? Come see CCAD in action! Chat with our admissions team, explore our studios, peek into classes, and meet the amazing students who call this place home. Bring your portfolio – we can't wait to see what you create. And yes, ask us anything. We mean it!
