Welcome to the Art Academy of Cincinnati, a four-year, independent, fully accredited college of art and design. Whether you are interested in our Bachelor of Fine Arts degree programs, our summer-residency Master of Arts in Art Education degree program, or our wonderful community education programs for children and adults, you will find helpful information here on our website. We invite you to explore our online galleries, blogs, newsroom, and other resources. Make sure you spend a few minutes watching Make Art!,  which is a wonderful video celebrating the recent creation of a new brand identity for the Art Academy.

When you are ready for more, please come visit our urban campus in the historic Over-the-Rhine district of downtown Cincinnati. Here you can experience art and design in our three galleries and throughout the facility, take a tour, attend an artist's lecture, open house event, or Final Friday gathering, and feel part of the exciting life in thriving, energized Over-the-Rhine. Most of the events at the Art Academy of Cincinnati are free and open to the public.

Whether you are an aspiring artist or designer, an arts aficionado, or a patron of the arts, you are assured of a wonderful experience at the Art Academy. Come join the conversation, find an opportunity to express your creativity, and join us in supporting art and design education in Greater Cincinnati.

Thanks again for your interest in the Art Academy.
