Creativity across the region
Growing, engaging and mirroring our communities
With more than 7,000 artists, designers and scholars working, teaching and learning together across five schools and a first-class art museum, the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts is a creative city within Arizona State University – and that creativity reaches beyond the borders of ASU’s Tempe campus. The Herberger Institute connects to places across the region through its partnerships, programming and physical presence at sites throughout Arizona and in California.

ASU Tempe campus
Anchoring all of our locations, the ASU Tempe campus is home to most of the Herberger Institute’s degree programs. In addition to academic buildings, the ASU Art Museum, and world-class venues and facilities in the design and arts district on the main campus, this location is in the heart of the thriving arts and culture scene of downtown Tempe.
Downtown Phoenix
All of the School of Art MFA candidates have studio spaces in the Warehouse District, and the School of Art's Fashion program and the School of Music, Dance and Theatre's Popular Music program recently moved to ASU’s brand new Fusion on First building in downtown Phoenix.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is one of the most important cultural hubs in the world. Through our programs headquartered at the ASU California Center in downtown Los Angeles, one of The Sidney Poitier New American Film School's three locations, and through our partnerships, including with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Herberger Institute students, faculty and alumni are connected to and integrated in this creative center.
