The Art Institute of Michigan encourages students to adopt a service-oriented philosophy and to be involved within the school. Student Life Services includes wellness programs, events, community service activities, and student organizations.  Currently we offer four clubs for students to join and play a role in activities outside the classroom.

Student Clubs:

Art Appreciation Club - Meets twice a month and enjoys artistic events throughout the year. Recent events have included a day at the Detroit Institute of Arts, an evening at the Farmington Players, and a production of Sweeny Todd at the Fox Theater.  The Art Appreciation clubs looks for art in all forms to view and appreciate.

Fashion Club - Will be launched in the spring of 2009 and will include an exciting fashion show, offsite visits to trunk shows, guest speakers from the industry, and involvement with Fashion Group International.  We are excited to have this additional club to enhance not only the interests of Fashion students, but all students who are interested in improving their style.

Garden Club - Establishes and maintains our campus garden located on the back of our property. Not only do student reap the benefits of this joint effort through utilizing the vegetables in class, they are also rewarded for their efforts by having vegetables for their own personal use.

Graphic Design Club - Meets once a month and everyone is welcome to join in. Its members are made up of Graphic design, Web, Advertising and Visual Communication students. The Club members go on multiple field trips, are involved in many fundraisers and community outreach programs for the school. They started a lecture series representing distinguish speakers to talk about the companies or the fields they work in. The mission of the Graphic Design Club is to meet design professionals in their work environment to learn about the industry and to have a continued focus on career opportunities. The officers of the graphic design club will collaborate with the chair of the club to encourage student participation, create and display advertising materials for meetings, document meetings, and assist in the arrangement of field trips to onsite locations.
