- BIG NEWS- Name Change: ArtCenter at Night = ArtCenter Extension!
Have you heard the news? ArtCenter College of Design’s non-degree programs—ArtCenter at Night, ArtCenter for Teens, ArtCenter for Kids and ArtCenter for Teachers—are changing their names. This summer, they all become ArtCenter Extension (ACX).
But don’t worry, this is a change in name only. Our wide range of hands-on offerings—courses taught by practicing artists and designers for everything from advertising to zine-making—remains the same.
150 + college-level courses and weekend workshops for busy adults
65 + classes for teens (grades 9–12) to discover their creative voices
25 + classes for kids (grades 4–8) to spark their imagination
And much more!

Crafting a Meaningful Career-Part One-Discovering the Dream-
Is your work getting in the way of your creativity? Do you feel you have more to offer but there are too many obstacles in your way to allow you have a purposeful career? Are you ready for one of the most important changes in your working life and need a nudge to get started? Then you are ready to take a unique class through ArtCenter Extension titled. “Crafting a Meaningful Career-Part One-Discovering the Dream.”
This course is more than a class where the participants do the course work and, after a few tests, move on never to be heard from again. It is made up of a community of like-minded professionals willing to help each other achieve their career goals. “Crafting a Meaningful Career- Part One” was created to help mid-career professionals who are unhappy with their current career and are looking for the next best use of their talents. The course materials help the participants honestly look at what they like and don’t like about their current job, examine their entire lifetime of work versus personal accomplishments (successes and setbacks), compare creative strengths and weaknesses, complete an exercise on matching their creative assets to look for new job opportunities, and help their fellow classmates discover potential meaningful opportunities.
If this quote attributed to George Eliot resonates with you, “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” then this class is for you.”

Editor’s note: There was an article in the L. A. Times, Sunday August 18 which mentioned “Crafting a Meaningful Career” alum Vahe Alaverdian. It was in Section C, page 1 written by Hugo Martin titled, “Hiring a winged security force; Falconers keep seagulls, pigeons away from hotels, other sites.” We are very proud of your accomplishments Vahe and encouraged by your commitment and ingenuity. You story has inspired members of our classes, workshops, and lectures and we wish you continued success.
In the article it stated, “The use of predator birds has become so popular that Vahe Alaverdian, owner of Falcon Force, a California bird abatement company, has more job offers than his staff of 26 employees and 60 falcons and hawks can handle. ‘It’s an environment where you can’t do anything else,” he said of bird abatement. ‘Everything is about being sustainable and green.’”

Garrison Pena (c) 2019
- Garrison Pena, Environmental Photographer- “Hi Tony, …I had the opportunity to travel up to Alaska for 2 weeks and it was the trip of a lifetime. I would call it a “spiritual awakening” and without overexaggerating, an “artistic a-ha moment”, since I first got into photography. Alaska is the most beautiful place I have seen thus far in my lifetime, and when I came back to LA, I knew that I had to go back because there is so much more that I want to explore and photograph beyond my previous itinerary.
This photograph is entitled: Mystère. It was taken in Cantwell, Alaska at late twilight. I’ve always had a fascination with how fog, mist, and atmosphere affect light and how it impacts scenery, but being an LA-boy born and raised, our fog isn’t per se entirely artistic or pretty in a sense. So, I didn’t have the highest expectations in capturing fog when I went. Now upon reflection, that notion was ultimately put to shame when I saw how ethereal and ominous Alaska fog looked. Emotionally, I was so engulfed and overwhelmed wondering, is this really real? Am I seeing this fog or am I dreaming? It is one of the greatest feelings ever. As an artist, that’s when I can say, this is why I do what I do!!! And to quote you Tony, I LOVE TO DO WHAT I DO!!!
I love the outdoors and want to travel to see different places in the future. I aim to pursue my passion in landscape photography especially with aerial imagery and working with drones. But in all honesty, I am open to anything at this point and welcome all possibilities. I am excited to see where life takes me and of course, I will stay in touch and share with you everything that’s happening in my life.
Warm and Best Regards,
Garrisson Peña
