The Bay Area

At CCA you will join a creative community of gifted artists from around the world, living and studying in one of the most culturally diverse regions in North America.

The Bay Area is a popular, international destination surrounded by national parks, breathtaking coastlines, cosmopolitan restaurants and shopping, renowned museums, and a vibrant, internationally recognized art scene.

Known as an artists’ mecca for architects, designers, and writers, the Bay Area is a place where design, technology, and the arts coalesce, manifesting new forms of creative expression.

The temperate climate, accessible public transportation, cultural richness, and diverse neighborhoods and districts come together in making the Bay Area a perfect location to study.
