The Cilker School of Art and Design offers creative programs with state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of Silicon Valley, delivering internationally recognized education at a fraction of the cost of elite private programs.

Cilker's curriculum spans a broad range of disciplines —  fashion, fine arts and photography, architecture and interior design, communication design, applied music and music production, theater and film, and a growing industrial design program — making it one of the most comprehensive art and design schools in the South Bay.  Whether students are building foundational skills or pursuing advanced creative practice, our programs are designed to prepare them for the workforce, transfer to renowned universities, or launch careers in competitive industries.

What sets Cilker apart? The caliber of instruction behind every program. Our dedicated faculty bring real-world professional experience into the classroom, pairing rigorous craft with critical thinking in an environment of curiosity and critique. Students don't just learn, they are mentored, challenged, and supported at every step.

As part of 91ÖÆƬ³§, Cilker is committed to making this level of education genuinely accessible. Our mission is to democratize art and design, diversify the creative industries, and expand opportunity for students who have traditionally been excluded from it.
