ArtCenter in China
Create Change forums have helped define ArtCenter's brand in China by bringing together top designers and innovation leaders from around the world to interact with one another in events designed to inspire and inform.
Since 2014, professionals from 200+ global companies have attended more than a dozen events in major cities across China to gain new insights on topics ranging from entertainment and transportation design to virtual reality and brand strategy.
In addition to the forums, the Create Change series has also offered annual workshops for students and working professionals led by top designers and key ArtCenter faculty.
Create Change events are produced by ArtCenter alumni in partnership with the College and provide an essential channel for ArtCenter to connect with China’s rapidly transforming culture and growing global importance.
ArtCenter gratefully acknowledges our expanding network of alumni, educators, designers, influencers and business leaders who have participated in the Create Change design forums and workshops.
