This past year has provided CalArts with the opportunity to reimagine recruiting in higher education. With that in mind, the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD) will host CalArts’ first Art and Design Virtual Career Fair on Friday, April 16, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

These candidates will bring skills from various disciplines including (but not limited to) graphic design, illustration, animation, comics, advertising, photography, fashion, product design, fine arts, interior design, film, ux design, and game design.

Participating schools include CalArts, Maine College of Art, Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD), California College of the Arts, Montserrat College of Art, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Art Academy of Cincinnati, University of the Arts, Ringling College of Art and Design, Pratt Institute, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Kansas City Art Institute, Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Otis College of Art and Design, Tufts University, Moore College of Art & Design, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Lesley University, and Pennsylvania College of Art & Design.
