I agree with Fatbrit that community colleges are probably a good choice. However, I have attended 8 different colleges and did not find one of the courses to be a year. All were either on the quarter system or on the semester system (about 5 months). They are much less costly and tend to have many more courses that would be considered somewhat 'artsy'.

There's often a 1/2 AA course with certificate missing out the core curriculum (English/math/etc) stuff for those already with a degree who want to become, for example, a paralegal or dental assistant.
Are there any websites you could suggest that could start me off on my search to look for a good college?
Also with the quarter semester colleges that do art based courses, could i still at the end of it apply for a visa to work for a year in the states or does that only apply to people taken courses that are more than a year long?

Then you go and change the starting post! You're going to need to do something more academic for your OPT. But international student offices attached to colleges will give you all the details. If it's OPT you're interested in, then you need to plan this from the start.
Honestly though, is it possible to actually go to the USA and study or is it totally impossible? by impossible i mean alot of hassle? As it all sounds very daunting.
If you've got the cash, a student visa is a nice and easy way to experience America for a year.
