  • On-Campus Meal Plan

    CalArts dining hall provides a high-quality food-service experience, complete with multiple entrée stations and a fresh salad bar, catering to different tastes as well as dietary preferences and/or restrictions. Most attendees opt for on-campus dining for convenience and camaraderie. Is it recommended that you opt for the dining hall as the campus does not have many options nearby that are easily accessible by foot.

    Conference Balance and Meal Plan are due at time of registration. Option for 50% payment plan available. Full Balance due June 1.
