CalArts is located about 20 miles north of the greater Los Angeles area in Valencia, CA. It is located just off of the 5 freeway in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Getting Around
If you are staying nearby in Valencia then your best option to get to and from the CalArts campus is using Lyft, Uber, or a taxi service. If you want to see more of Los Angeles while visiting and are staying closer to town then perhaps a car rental would be the cheapest option. You can take a car service from the greater Los Angeles area to CalArts but the rides can add up quickly. Unfortunately there are no practical public transportation options from Los Angeles to the Valencia suburbs. If you do stay in Los Angeles and want to see more of the city the LA Metro is a good and inexpensive way to get around.
Accommodations
Here is a short list of hotels near the CalArts campus.
Arriving on campus
When you arrive let the guard at the gate know you are performing in the concert hall and they will wave you through. It is not a strict process so it should be simple. The music school is located to the left as you go up the driveway. The main entrance to CalArts is at the top of the hill by the steps and the blue wall. Park anywhere close. Parking is free.
