Director’s Message

Welcome to The Creative Circus!

For 30 years, The Creative Circus has been the ultimate playground for those who dare to think differently. We don’t just teach advertising and design—we’ve been shaping the creative rebels, the risk-takers, and the industry-shakers since day one.

Our programs in Art Direction, Copywriting, and Design are anything but ordinary. Taught by industry leaders and alums who’ve been through the trenches, these courses don’t just give you technical skills—they challenge you to think boldly, break rules, and embrace the weird, wild, and wonderful ideas that make The Circus community what it is.

Our mission is simple: give aspiring creatives a launchpad to take over the industry. Whether you’re a future student ready to try something new, an alum pushing creative boundaries, or one of our die-hard supporters, we want you with us as we keep building this ever-evolving creative force.

I’m excited to connect with you as we continue to shape the future of creativity together.

Voices From Our Community

“Our goal is to teach the design skills students need to experiment, imagine and build. Not to follow trends, but to create them.”
Colleen Finn
Instructor
“Why is it important for Circus courses to be taught by industry professionals? They’ve been through the grind. They’ve done heavy lifting. They’ve experienced disappointment and bliss. They know what, why and how the process works.”
Greg Strelecki
Advisor
“What we know, what we do, is not theoretical. It’s about really making it happen.”
