Message from ArtCenter

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, faculty and staff, I want to congratulate the graduating class of Spring 2025. 

This cohort is the first class to graduate in the aftermath of this year’s devastating fires. They witnessed firsthand how these disasters left many of their fellow students and teachers facing terrible loss, hardship and displacement. Yet in the face of these challenges, they also saw the strength of ArtCenter’s community as it came together to support one another. If they take anything from this challenging moment in time, I hope it’s this outpouring of kindness in the face of tragedy and their incredible resilience.

As they take this next step in their lives, I know our graduates have limitless possibilities for where their lives and careers can take them. I know from experience that what they have learned at ArtCenter will inspire and sustain them over time. The supportive bonds they have forged will continue to grow exponentially along their professional journey. 

On behalf of the entire ArtCenter family, I congratulate our graduates for their achievements and for their perseverance. They truly have what it takes to overcome any obstacle and to make their mark on the world.
