ounded in 1907, California College of the Arts (CCA) educates students to shape culture and society through the practice and critical study of art, architecture, design, and writing. Benefiting from its San Francisco Bay Area location, CCA prepares students for lifelong creative work by cultivating innovation, community engagement, and social and environmental responsibility. The College’s distinguished alumni network includes Maja Ruznic, Robert Bechtle, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Woody de Othello, John McCracken, and Hank Willis Thomas – among many others.
Sotheby’s is honored to partner with California College of the Arts to raise essential funds for student scholarships and make a CCA education accessible to qualified students from all backgrounds, thereby continuing the legacy of the institution into the 21st century. The selection of works offered across the Contemporary Curated and Contemporary Discoveries sales – many generously donated directly by the artist – reflects CCA’s profound impact on the lives of its students and the broader Bay Area creative community.
