Cleveland Institute of Art

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The Cleveland Institute of Art is a private college of art and design located in University Circle, Cleveland, Ohio. It was founded in 1882 as the Western Reserve School of Design for Women. From 1891 until 1948 it was named Cleveland School of Art. During the Great Depression the school participated in the WPA Federal Art Project in the Cleveland area. During World War II mapmaking and medical drawing were added to the usual curriculum in drawing, painting and sculpture.

It is accredited by North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and is also a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design and the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education.

In addition to being an historically acclaimed art school and arguably a valuable component of the cultural community of University Circle, the Cleveland Institute of Art also houses the main exposition center of the Cleveland Cinematheque. It counts among its graduates such notable artists as Victor Schreckengost Richard Anuszkiewicz, Robert Mangold, Julian Stanczak, Winifred Lutz, and Dana Schutz.

History

Originally concentrating on 'practical' rather than 'academic' skills, the Cleveland School of Art aimed to train designers and craftspeople. The school began offering a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1947, just before the name change in 1948. The Institute gradually incorporated more lecture-based courses into the curriculum, such as literature and art history, and the program expanded to five years by 1969. Since the 2006 school year the Institute has transitioned from a five-year to a four-year degree track. The Institute has recently focused funding on new facilities. Financial struggles have forced the Institute to incrementally raise tuition and decrease scholarship availability. In 2007 the tuition was raised twenty-percent.
