How ArtCenter Changed My Life

Gratitude for Those Who Believed in Us at ArtCenter

This Thanksgiving, we find ourselves reflecting on what truly makes ArtCenter extraordinary. It’s more than the remarkable work we create; it’s the people who make that work possible. Our community is the heart of ArtCenter, and it’s what gives the College its purpose. It’s where mentorship, creativity and determination come together to dare us to imagine more.

In this video, ArtCenter alumni share their gratitude as they reflect on the faculty who believed in them and the community that helped them dream bigger. Their stories remind us that an ArtCenter education extends far beyond the classroom. It lives in the relationships we build, the support we offer one another and the change we bring to the world.

Every member of our ArtCenter family—students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends and industry partners—reminds us that what we create is deeply connected to those who lifted us along the way.

This is what truly matters.
And for that—and all of you—we are profoundly grateful.
