Are you ready for this weekend? Academy of Art’s SF Open Studio is finally opening its doors this Saturday, March 23! Block your calendars for it if you haven’t yet. You wouldn’t want to miss out on all the things we’ve prepared for you.

Transitioning from high school to college is such an exciting time, but also can be overwhelming. If you’re a high schooler feeling a wee bit lost and exhausted just thinking about the gazillion things you have to consider when choosing from a gazillion possible art and design careers you want to pursue, we got your back—so you can get your focus back.

Open Studio

On March 23, Academy of Art University is hosting an exclusive, on-campus event specifically for you. Understandably, you may have some questions as to what going to an art school entails.

The San Francisco Open Studio, as part of the Academy’s Open House program, is designed to address these questions, so you can have a clearer picture of the path you’ll be taking down the college road.

From 10AM to 4PM, you can check out what’s up with the various art and design courses available at the Academy. You’ll gain better insight into the full Academy experience, as well as have the opportunity to get a feel of the classroom environment and student life.

You can also pick up some helpful tips for better schedule management, get a closer look at the available online course options, and learn more about the NCAA athletics program.
