Open House

Ringling College of Art and Design is a special place. A place where students from around the world come to learn from creative minds who are leaders in their fields. A place that prepares you to turn your passion for creativity into a successful career. A place where you’ll work hard. A place where you’ll be challenged. But also a place where you’ll have the time of your life. A place to meet your best friends. A place to find yourself. A place to grow. We’re home to a new generation of creative visionaries. We can’t wait to see you!

Open House is a great opportunity to get to know Ringling College from the people who know it best—our students and faculty. You’ll have the opportunity to explore our majors, learn about life on campus, find out how to apply, and much more.
