I experience Cleveland Institute of Art

Thank you for visiting the Cleveland Institute of Art!

CIA plays a vital role in educating future artists and designers and is integral to Northeast Ohio's creative economy. Our academic program includes majors in visual arts, entertainment arts, design and craft, and for nearly 140 years, our alumni have created art and designs that are familiar around the world.

We hope you'll join us again soon at CIA. Visitors are invited to enjoy public programming year-round through Reinberger Gallery, the Cinematheque and our Continuing Education program.

Reinberger Gallery

CIA's Reinberger Gallery supports the creative work of professional artists by providing quality exhibition opportunities. It also serves CIA students, faculty and the community as an educational resource, and particularly to encourage artistic growth and experimentation through well-presented exhibitions, events and lectures.
