Cornish College of the Arts has established itself as a beacon for interdisciplinary collaboration and artistic excellence. As one of the few performing and visual arts colleges in the U.S., Cornish serves as a vibrant hub where creativity flourishes, transformation takes root, and students are equipped to thrive as artists, engaged citizens, and innovative thinkers. With diversity and inclusion as core pillars of its culture, Cornish proudly opens its doors to everyone—celebrating the richness of all identities and experiences.

In 2023, Cornish expanded its reach through Cornish+, an initiative designed to make the college's offerings accessible to a wider audience. Through Cornish+, individuals of all ages and skill levels—from youth to adults, from beginners to advanced practitioners—are invited to engage in programs that inspire growth, collaboration, and artistic exploration. Families and multigenerational communities are welcomed to discover and participate in the creative opportunities that only Cornish can provide.
