“San Antonio, count your blessings and shout HALLELUJAH!!! We are so lucky to have CIA in our city. I have taken weekend classes at CIA numerous times and it never disappoints.”
—Sonia H.
“CIA doesn’t disappoint. Been here in the past for some of their art exhibits. I love how they combine art, food and wine in such a fantastic way. Went to their 3D dinner which was a dinner intricately woven into a movie at your table.”
—Linda H.
“What a fabulous institution and campus to visit and tour. So envious of those who get to study here. Located along the Hudson River, lush green everywhere, contemporary facilities, and the streets and parking lots named after food.”
