CalArts Union Information
This site is intended to be a resource for the CalArts community to find information about unionization at the Institute. CalArts supports a fair, transparent, and neutral process that ensures its employees have the information they need to make informed choices about this important process.
The Institute respects its employees’ right to organize, and is committed to maintaining a supportive, creative, and collaborative teaching, learning, and working environment for all members of our community. CalArts does not have an opinion for or against unionization, and believes our employees have the right to freely determine for themselves whether or not they think union representation would be beneficial.
We encourage you to check this site regularly for FAQs, resources, and ongoing updates. If you have suggestions for this site, please contact the Office of Communications at communications@calarts.edu.
