Who We AreAcademy of Art University was established in San Francisco in 1929 by Richard S. Stephens, a fine art painter who had accepted the position of Creative Director for Sunset Magazine. Assisted by his wife, Mrs. Clara Stephens, he opened the new school in a rented loft at 215 Kearny Street to teach advertising art. In a few years, a distinguished faculty of practicing art and design professionals was assembled and the school’s philosophy was formulated: hire established professionals to teach future professionals. In 1933 the curriculum was expanded to include Fashion Illustration, and in 1936 a Fine Art department was added.

WE TEACH STUDENTS to develop the habits and mindset to make a living from their creative genius. They leave here and go into the world informed, inspired and savvy enough to pursue their dreams and thereby enrich our culture.
– Richard S. Stephens, Founder
WE ARE IN THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH in this World of Education. That means artists teaching artists. Instructors insctructing the truth. That’s honesty and integrity, and the Academy of Art University stands for these principles.
– Richard A. Stephens, Chairman Emeritus
EXPERTS AND FUTURISTS TELL US that the future will be driven by the “creative class.” We consider ourselves the stewards of a learning institution dedicated to teaching the truth in the artistic and creative process.
– Elisa Stephens, President
