Additionally, they can offer mentorship beyond academics—advice about navigating studio culture, managing critique feedback, and building a portfolio that reflects CCA's values.

CCA alumni tutors excel in subjects spanning visual arts, design, film, architecture, and liberal arts coursework. Whether you need help with studio courses like painting, digital media, or graphic design, or academic subjects like art history, critical theory, or writing, connecting with an alumnus or alumna tutor means learning from someone who's successfully completed the same coursework.
