An arts school is a place where classes in fine and/or applied arts are held at the university or graduate level. Topics of study may include painting, sculpture, graphic design, photography, illustration, and related subjects.
Fine arts and applied arts are both included, so the institution can focus on artistic practice, design, or a combination of subjects.
The university or graduate level is part of this definition. Exhibiting or selling art without holding the qualifying classes is a different activity.
