So I've finally decided to go the creative route and I'm looking for art schools that are known for their programs. Could any of you recommend some good ones? Appreciate ya.

There's a number of art schools across the country known for their strong programs. One of the best known is the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), which offers a variety of majors, from illustration to industrial design.

On the West Coast, you could consider California Institute of the Arts, or CalArts, which is noted for its animation program that has produced a number of significant figures in the animation industry.

School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) should also be on your radar. It’s a leader in the field of art education and it is known for its interdisciplinary curriculum that allows students to explore different fields of art.

Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, is highly respected, particularly in the design fields. Its well-rounded programs prepare students with an integrated approach to the study of design, art and architecture.

If you're open to a conventional university setting as well, you could also look into UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture, which boasts notable faculty members and alumni, or New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, known for its strong film and performing arts programs.

Remember to consider not only the program's reputation but also whether the school's philosophy and methods align with your creative vision and goals. Research faculty, current student and alumni work, as well as access to resources and internship or career opportunities. It may also be helpful to reach out to current students or alumni, or attend open house events or tours, if possible, to get a firsthand understanding of the school's culture and opportunities.
