We begin Homecoming at Home looking back at the places CCA has called home throughout our 113 year history—starting in 1907 in Berkeley when we were the School of the California Guild of Arts and Crafts, to the Treadwell Estate in Oakland, to when our new Architecture program took us across the Bay to a second campus in San Francisco. And as our buildings, spaces, and name have evolved over the decades so has our visual identity. We’ll explore the college’s branding and graphic presence alongside posters and publications by students, faculty, and the college community throughout each era.
