Established in 1929 by Sunset Magazine's creative director, Richard S. Stephens, Academy of Art University transforms aspiring students into professional artists & designers.

Graduates have been hired by companies like: Apple, EA, Nike, Pixar, Zynga & more. Through the dedication of current President Dr. Elisa Stephens & Chairman Emeritus Richard A.
