The legendary Californian art school, CalArts, has been named the number one college for students in the arts by Newsweek/The Daily Beast. “I’ve never been a fan of pitting institutions of higher learning against each other, but it is undeniably gratifying to receive this recognition,” says CalArts President Steven Lavine in a statement. The institution has been a breeding ground for the avant-garde since its inception in 1970, recruiting pioneering artists as teachers such as John Baldessari and Paul McCarthy. “We strive to provide an environment that supports that creative development rather than trying to mould students to a preconceived idea of artistic excellence. The accomplishments of our alumni… are the best proof that confident creativity is their greatest asset,” adds Lavine.
