Histori
CCA was founded in 1907 by Frederick Meyer at Berkeley as the California Union of Arts and Crafts School during the peak of the Arts and Crafts movement. The Arts and Crafts movement originated in Europe at the end of the 19th century in response to the industrial aesthetics of the machine age. Followers of the movement advocated an integrated approach to art, design, and craft. Today, the "practical art school" Frederick Meyer is an internationally recognized and respected institution, attracting students from all over the world.
In 1908 the school was renamed the School of Arts and Crafts of California, and in 1936 became the College of Arts and Crafts of California (CCAC).
The location of the Oakland campus on campus was obtained in 1922, when Meyer purchased James Treadwell's four-acre estate on Broadway and College Avenue. The two buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Oakland campus still houses more traditional craft-based studios such as art glass, metal art jewelry, graphic arts, paintings, sculptures, and ceramics programs.
In 1940 the Master of Fine Arts program was established.
In 2003, the college was renamed the California College of the Arts.

Alumni
Alumni Robert Arneson and Peter Voulkos and faculty members of Viola Frey helped to build the ceramic medium as fine arts and were closely linked to the emergence of the 1960s ceramics. 1970's photorealist movement was represented by current faculty members Jack Mendenhall and alumni Robert Bechtle and Richard McLean. Alumni Nathan Oliveira and Manuel Neri are leaders in the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Marvin Lipofsky founded the CCA's Glass Program in 1967 and is vital in the movement of Glass Studio. Two school faculties established California Faience.
