VanArts is the place to develop your creativity professionally. By offering small class sizes, world class faculty and departments that routinely collaborate, VanArts is dedicated to your success. We keep our classes small and our learning real, challenging students to push the limits of creativity.

Students and instructors become an intimate team of creative minds working side by side in innovative collaborations. VanArts considers an active relationship with the industry to be of the utmost importance to the schools development; maintaining an ongoing dialogue with local studios regarding course content; employing instructors who are currently working in the industry; and introducing outstanding graduates to studios with specific production needs.
