With several major metropolitan areas nearby, Ohio is a busy, growing, yet modest center of contemporary American business and cultural life. As an art and design student, you'll enjoy this Midwestern hub for its many universities and educational centers. Interior, graphic and industrial design opportunities are all on the rise as Ohio's economy continues to expand.
Discover Ohio's Art Scene
If the fine arts pique your interest, Cleveland's Museum of Art houses more than 40,000 works ranging over 6,000 years. Other art centers in Ohio include the Columbus Museum of Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts, a contemporary art gallery and research facility on the Columbus campus of Ohio State University. Cleveland hosts many annual events of interest to art and design students, including its internationally recognized Fashion Week and the Ingenuity Festival and Notacon conference, which highlight innovation in combining art and technology. This combination of fine arts and fashion make Ohio an excellent place to pursue degrees in photography, interior design, fashion design and merchandising, and more.
