New Partner Schools for International Exchange Program
San Francisco, October 18, 2005
Two new institutions have been added to the list of partner schools for the CCA International Exchange Program: Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Arts Decoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris, France, and Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Israel.
ENSAD was formed in 1766 and has a long history of integrating decorative art with fine art and architecture. In more recent times, ENSAD has focused on design and multimedia, and has become one of the leading design schools in Europe.
Founded in 1906, Bezalel is the preeminent Israeli school for fine art, architecture, and design.
The college's study abroad programs offer a variety of opportunities for dynamic interchange among students, faculty, and the international art world. The college has formed exchange programs with a number of leading art and design schools in Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, France, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
