Accepted Student Preview Day

Accepted Student Preview Day is an informative and celebratory event for admitted students to preview what life will be like at CIA for the next 4 years!

You will meet faculty, learn about our academic programs and engaged practice curriculum, you'll visit students' personal studios, and tour our entire campus, located within Cleveland's cultural hub, University Circle.

You’ll see that CIA provides each student with individual studio space on campus as soon as they enter their major; that our equipment—from printing presses and kilns to 3D printers and a digital screening room—is state-of-the-art; and that our neighborhood is the cultural hub of Cleveland. We’re a short walk to the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and the Cleveland Botanical Garden. And we’re surrounded by the shops and restaurants of Uptown and the restaurants and galleries of Little Italy.

Round out the entire experience by signing up for one of our optional morning or afternoon programs, which highlight our University Circle partners and the city of Cleveland. 

Our events fill up quickly, so register early! We look forward to celebrating with you!
