The Art Institute of Pittsburgh (AIP) is a private, for-profit, higher education institute located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that emphasizes career preparation for the creative job market. It was founded in 1921.
Founded in 1921, AIP is the oldest and most storied of The Art Institutes throughout North America, spanning nine floors and also serving as the headquarters of The Art Institute Online. It has had a history of excellence producing all types of artists (such as watercolorist Frank Webb and the late science fiction illustrator Frank Kelly Freas) but specializing primarily in industrial design, advertising and graphic design. The school has a large investment in technology with its numerous computer labs of both Windows and Macintosh machines.
The Art Institute of Pittsburgh has relocated itself six times, growing and expanding each time into the school it is today. The year 2000 saw the school's most recent relocation from its previous establishment at 526 Penn Avenue to 420 Boulevard of the Allies: a nine-story historic landmark.
The school currently resides roughly eight blocks from The Art Institutes headquarters of Education Management Corporation (EDMC).
