Advancing creative expression for everyone
With more than 9,000 artists, designers and scholars working, teaching and learning together across six schools and two museums, 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, from working with partners and peers abroad to offering online design and arts degrees for students wanting to learn virtually to our locations across four cities. Those cities include:
ASU Art Museum
ASU Art Museum in the Herberger Institute harnesses the university’s breadth and depth of expertise to pioneer new models for arts learning, engagement and innovation that integrates relevancy, trust and resilient communities with museum institutions
ASU FIDM Museum
ASU FIDM Museum at the ASU California Center in Los Angeles features a 15,000-piece collection that represents over 400 years of fashion history.
