About Dot Magazine

ArtCenter is a community of bold imagination and innovative spirit, and the creative contributions of our alumni, faculty, students and supporters inspire pride and energize our growth. As the College’s flagship publication, Dot magazine explores and celebrates their far-reaching influence within professional disciplines and on culture and contemporary society as a whole.

Dot magazine is published by ArtCenter’s Department of Marketing and Communications. Stories are published online throughout the year, and a print edition is published in the Spring and Fall. The magazine’s wide readership includes alumni and donors; corporate and foundation supporters; industry, educational and cultural partners; community members and local officials.

To help categorize the wide array of stories that appear online, we’ve created sections that group programs under shared characteristics.
