Student Studios & Facilities

Find Your Process

Your studio is where you stop being a student, and start becoming an artist by taking ownership of your education and creativity.

Studio Access: 24 // 7

At any hour of the day or night, students can be found working in their studios. Students spend as much time in their studios as they can – experimenting, tossing ideas back and forth, amusing themselves, and getting feedback. Almost all of our student studios have large windows providing natural light, and amazing views of the historic Over-the-Rhine (OTR) neighborhood. 

All juniors and seniors are guaranteed studio space at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Remaining studios provided to sophomores as much as possible. Generally, students share their studio with three other students. Studios are open 24-7 in AAC’s secure main building, so students can work whenever the mood strikes.

Facilities: What You Get

We support our students with fully equipped labs in all majors, and offer interdisciplinary access with either training and/or course enrollment. We often have painters making video, or creative writers making sculpture. The AAC believes in a collaborative learning environment to support any creative vision our students have.
