Hillside and South Campus
ArtCenter College of Design


ArtCenter is a proud partner of this fall's ArtNight Pasadena.

Produced by Pasadena's Cultural Affairs Division, ArtNight is a signature cultural event offering a free evening of exhibitions, performances, and special programming at venues and organizations throughout the city.

For decades, ArtNight has been Pasadena's most celebrated evening of art, music and entertainment. But did you know it started right here at ArtCenter? ArtCenter alum and former Exhibitions Director Stephen Nowlin is one of the principal organizers, and the logo was originally designed by then-student Carla Figueroa, now an accomplished designer and ArtCenter faculty member in the Graphic Design department.
