Academy of Art University Shares Creativity During Spring Show

Last Thursday, the Academy of Art University held its Annual Spring Show at which student work from all disciplines was displayed. Held in San Francisco, an amazing collection of creativity was on hand for fellow students, art aficionados and recruiters to view.

Sending graduates off to agencies like Goodby, JWT, TBWA. W+K, Y&R, Deutsch, ATTIK, CP+B and many others, the School of Advertising enrolled 370 undergraduate students and 225 Master Degree students this school year. Founded in 1929 by Richard Stephens, there are 60 instructors who teach 55 courses in the area of marketing and advertising.

Walking through the exhibits, it was clear the school was matriculating and graduating some serious talent. Oh sure, some of it was derivative but give these students a few years in the real world and watch with amazement as they become the next advertising legends.

If you didn’t have a chance to attend the Show, you can do so virtually by perusing this photo album which captured the work displayed during the event.
