Mike DeWine to all colleges statewide, the Cleveland Institute of Art is moving summer courses to an online platform in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Click here for more information.***

Hello and welcome to Continuing Education at CIA! Each semester we serve educators, adults, and students in grades 5-12 by helping each individual learn new techniques or improve on existing skills.

This section of myCIA is for anyone interested in our classes, workshops and intensives. On these pages students can submit a registration and download important forms and documents. To find more details about our individual programs, visit our main website.

Our registration for the summer session has closed. Please check back for updates on future classes. 

If you are a parent or guardian of a young artist, you can find important information and resources in this portal. Here are some things you may be looking for:

Young Artist Online Participation Consent Form: Required for all students under 18 years old to participate in online classes. Must be submitted by midnight on June 7, 2020 for the summer session.
