In either case, this is your chance to study and work in amazing facilities with real practitioners across the spectrum of the arts. This is where inspiration meets aesthetic clarity—and the result is something all your own.

We offer instruction in five languages and immersive study abroad opportunities, so you can embrace fluency in all its manifestations.
