Welcome
Vincent Olivieri
Associate Dean of Graduate Affairs
Welcome to the Claire Trevor School of the Arts! We are a diverse community of artists and scholars dedicated to exploring our world and interpreting that experience back out in the form of creative work. We view art-making as a civic responsibility, one that we practice daily in constant pursuit of growth. Our faculty are practicing artists and scholars themselves, with active careers in their fields, and our students are engaged in cutting edge research designed to push the boundaries of art-making and creativity, whether their discipline format is traditional or revolutionary.
From avant garde presentations to the largest commercial productions, our students, faculty, and alumni work at the highest levels of our fields, and our location in southern California places us in one of the world’s richest cultural environments. Every day, I am impressed by something new that the CTSA community has created, and I invite you to join us and be part of the vibrant creative environment here in the school of the arts!
Sincerely,
Vincent Olivieri
Associate Dean for Graduate Affairs
