Four US-based art schools: California College of the Arts (CCA), College for Creative Studies (CCS), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), have joined forces as "The ArtPod" to offer workshops and events to interested students.
We're excited to announce a virtual summer workshop series for students interested in fine arts and design. You are not required to attend all 3 sessions, however, students who complete the series will receive application fee waivers for all of the ArtPod schools, if they choose to apply (Fall 2023 applicants only).
