ArtCenter has two main campuses in Pasadena: South Campus and Hillside Campus. The summer classes will be at the South Campus.

The L.A. Metro Fillmore Station is located one block north of South Campus, connecting students to the Metro rail and bus system serving all of Los Angeles County.

Pasadena has its own easy and affordable bus system, Pasadena Transit. Route 51/52 provides weekday service throughout Old Pasadena, with stops at both campuses.

South Campus Parking: Please allow yourself enough time to park at 950 S. Raymond Avenue and walk to the building where your class will be held. There is also overflow parking available behind the Tesla charging lot on the corner of Arroyo and Glenarm.

On the first Monday of class from 8am-9:30pm Extended Studies staff will be available in person to support students and faculty. Look for our table in the lobby of the building where your class is to be held. If you are unsure where to do, the guards at the table or desk near the building entrance can help direct you.

Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of class to make sure you are in your classroom and ready to start creating by 9 A.M.

Extended Studies staff will be available from 8 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. Please plan to arrive and leave during that time frame and stay inside the building until you are ready to leave. Students who are waiting after drop off and before pick up will not be directly supervised, so students should be mature enough to be self-directed during this time. Consider bringing something to do quietly while you wait.

Yes! We know that summer mornings are busy, so will provide lunch for you. There will be a vegetarian option and an option that includes meat. To limit wasted food, we cannot guarantee that you will get your first choice every day, and unfortunately, we are not able to provide for personal food preferences and dietary requirements.

Of course, you are welcome to bring snacks and meals that meet your needs, but keep in mind that refrigeration is not available. In addition, most buildings have vending machines.

Required materials will be provided as part of the program.

Supplies for your summer class are included in tuition. However, if you wish to purchase additional supplies or ArtCenter branded products, ArtCenter’s Student Store has locations at both the South Campus and Hillside.

South Campus store:

Monday though Thursday: 9am - 4:30pm
Friday: 10am - 3pm

Hillside store:

Monday through Thursday: 10am - 6pm
Friday: 10am - 3pm
Saturday: 10am - 2pm
