The college is located within the South Bank parklands, along with the Queensland Conservatorium, the Griffith Film School and Griffith Graduate Centre.[8] The college delivers programs across both South Bank and Gold Coast campuses. At South Bank the focus is on Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art, Visual Arts, and Design. The Gold Coast campus focuses specifically on Design degrees.

The Griffith University Art Museum, also on the South Bank campus, houses the Griffith University Art Collection, the second largest public art collection in Queensland.[9] The Museum organises exhibitions, educational and public programs, as well as conducting "research, teaching, publishing and dialogue among communities of Griffith University students, faculty, artists, scholars, alumni, and the wider public".[10]

Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art (CAIA)

In addition to visual arts and design degrees, the college offers a unique degree designed to prepare Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to become professional artists - Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art. The degree focuses on traditional Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art media, styles and forms, together with strategies for their viable adaptation within a highly urbanised society. It is planned in accordance with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander principles and philosophies. Teaching respects Aboriginal laws concerning the ways in which techniques and images may be used.

During this program, students research their own family history and traditions, undertake field trips to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and study contemporary culture and politics.
