ArtCenter College of Design presents the work of graduating undergraduate and graduate students at its Spring 2026 Grad Show. Highly anticipated and recognized as one of the West Coast’s largest art and design exhibitions of its kind, this one-day event is free and offers a great opportunity to experience outstanding work and meet the artists and designers.

Grad Show takes place in both digital and physical spaces designed specifically for each new class of graduates. Students are assigned gallery space to place the best pieces in their portfolios on display for visiting recruiters, family, friends and even the general public, taking place off-campus in the heart of Old Town Pasadena.

All are welcome. No registration required.
