A creative community unlike anywhere else

Learn your craft on our newly expanded residential campus
California College of the Arts is located in the urban Design District neighborhood, where creativity and collaboration thrive. At the heart of campus is the Nave, a sunlit corridor in our main building surrounded by student studios that are the hub of °®¶¹´«Ã½â€™s critique culture. Just beyond, our newly expanded campus adds more than 80,000 square feet of space, enhancing interdisciplinary learning in one of San Francisco’s most vibrant cultural neighborhoods. On campus you’ll also find our residence halls, Founders Hall and Blattner Hall, and the world-renowned Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts.
