CalArts Spring 2025Co Scenic Designer Maci Johnson
For the Graduation stage design of 2025, we wanted to capture and celebrate the essence of every CalArtsian, and to us, that was light.
Light represents the transformative journey of every student. It embodies the spark of discovery, the power of resilience, and the creativity in this incredible community, with the city of Los Angeles being the backbone of support.
For the 2025 CalArts Graduation, it's time for everyone to step into the spotlight that was once highlighting our homework, now shining on us. We have aimed to bring playfulness, vibrant color, anda little bit of history all woven into the wonderful ceremony.
