We know many people worry about job prospects in the arts. Here’s why MTM College is the best choice for turning creative passions into successful careers.

🎓 Why Choose Art School – and Why MTM College Stands Out

At MTM College, we’ve been training the next generation of artists for over 27 years. Our alumni work in animation studios, video game companies, illustration houses, and beyond. The entertainment industry is booming, and demand for skilled artists continues to grow.

✅ Industry-Ready Skills – Our programs focus on fundamentals and real-world skills like digital software, storytelling, and design.
✅ Small Class Sizes – With a maximum of 16 students per class, every student gets personalized, one-on-one mentorship.
✅ Deep Industry Connections – Our instructors are working professionals who’ve spent years in the industry. Studios trust our graduates because they know our curriculum is built by industry veterans.
✅ Annual Industry Events – We host an annual Industry Night where graduates present their portfolios to potential employers, often landing jobs right after graduation.
