How To Find Us


The School of Art & Design is located near the southwest corner of the Boston Public Garden at 75 Arlington Street. We are just steps away from Boston’s gallery district on Newbury Street and a short train ride to the Museum of Fine Arts, making our location ideal for those who want to study art and design in an urban environment. The School is a 15-minute walk (or a 5-minute train ride) from the main campus on Beacon Hill, and it is just a 10-minute walk from the Tremont and West Street Residence Hall. We are located one block from the Arlington T-stop.
