Prospective Students

So many things go into choosing a college. You want to find a place that feels like you — a place where you will feel challenged yet comfortable. A place that offers programs and courses that interest and excite you — where you will be able to explore your own creativity and your own ideas about art and design. At the Kansas City Art Institute, you will grow artistically and academically.

Students come to KCAI from nearly every state and several foreign countries, each with talent and a desire to make a life in art. They graduate with the polish, discipline and knowledge of professional practices to take advantage of the many career opportunities available to them or to enter challenging graduate programs.
