Community Hubs
Unique to the ArtCenter educational experience, we’ve established Community Hubs in strategic locations around the world—cities leading the way in art, design and innovation—for the purpose of creative exploration and community building.
Located in Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul and Shenzhen (with more international and domestic locations to be announced), our community hubs are made possible in large part due to alumni and industry partners, who have helped us identify studios and makerspaces to host ArtCenter activities, and who serve as guest speakers and workshop facilitators, making each hub unique to its environment.
These locations don’t function as classrooms. Coursework is conducted in Pasadena, online, or is specific to our Exchange and Study Away programs. Instead, these hubs serve as a nexus for lectures and hands-on workshops, shared makerspaces and social gatherings, giving students, alumni and industry partners an opportunity to network and collaborate.
