Art in Cooking
Culinary students express their creativity through food. A gleaming environment and the warm Arizona sunshine streaming in the large picture windows help to transform this kitchen into an artist's studio.

The Gallery
When you enter the Gallery reception area you will immediately witness the creativity that flows at The Art Institute of Phoenix. National and local exhibits, changed periodically, are on display. Student and faculty art are also scheduled during the year. Receptions are held frequently allowing students to meet with the visiting artists.

The Supply Store sells books and art supplies necessary for the successful student. Clothing, hobby items, and food are also available.

The Resource Center

Working in Animation
Students sharpen their computer skills in one of six computer labs at the school. Thanks to the small student to teacher ratio at the Institute, instructors work closely to monitor the progress of each student.
