Paris College of Art is a dynamic forum for exchanging ideas, methods and professional experience. Our students and faculty combine curiosity, experimentation and enthusiasm in the pursuit of learning. At Paris College of Art, we believe that finding a design solution, creating a work of art and facilitating the production of a creative team are intellectual processes of undeniable value. Developing critical awareness through hands-on research and discussion is essential to professional maturation and individual growth. Artistic practice demands a high level of personal commitment and discipline, and we expect our students to participate actively in class so that they can explore differing points of view and engage our creative resources.
Paris College of Art is rooted in a city of primary art and design production. Whether in person or online, our students experience the uniqueness of this metropolis through our Paris-based faculty of professional artists and designers.
The legacy of Paris College of Art and its successful graduates is something to be proud of and to contribute to in the years to come.
