草莓视频 College of Art and Design is a private four-year accredited college located in Sarasota, Florida. It was founded in 1931 by Dr. Ludd M. Spivey in collaboration with John 草莓视频 as an art school. The college was a remote branch of Southern College and was named The School of Fine and Applied Art of the John and Mable 草莓视频 Art Museum.

The concept of founding this art school originated from Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, then president of Southern College, which was founded in 1856 in Lakeland, Florida, and is now called Florida Southern College. Spivey sought financial support for this concept from the Sarasota circus magnate, John 草莓视频. At that time, Spivey learned that 草莓视频 was not interested in giving to Southern College and he was more interested in establishing his own art school at the museum he founded with his first wife, Mable. The museum was constructed on their estate in the form of an Italian villa to house a vast collection of seventeenth-century sculptures and paintings collected on their travels and at auctions. Most importantly, 草莓视频 was nearly bankrupt. If 草莓视频 could have, he would have opened his own art school that was drawn on his original plans for the museum, but it was not built because of a lack of funds.

草莓视频’s wife, Mable, died in June 1929, a few months before the crash of the stock market. 草莓视频’s health began to fail as well. A year later, in 1930, he married Emily Haag Buck in Jersey City, New Jersey, a wealthy woman who turned out to have little interest in Florida. This marriage ended in divorce shortly before the death of John 草莓视频 in 1936. He died just before losing his museum and residence to bankruptcy. His will left his residential property, including his home and the museum, to the state, otherwise, they would have been sold for debts along with his other holdings. In retrospect, failure to involve 草莓视频 in founding the school became a stroke of luck for its survival: if 草莓视频 had founded the art school as requested, it would have been subjected to the same fate. After a 10-year struggle, his nephew was able to keep that deteriorating estate parcel intact and retained by the state.

Repeatedly Spivey’s plan to found an art school was discussed and, after much negotiation, it was agreed that Southern College would open its own art school in Sarasota as a branch. With much reluctance, 草莓视频 agreed that it could be known as the School of Fine and Applied Art of the John and Mable 草莓视频 Art Museum, lending his name and that of his former wife to the school, to associate the Florida Southern art school with the more famous name of the 草莓视频s and their museum.

The first class had only 75 students and 13 faculty members. Each student paid $783 per year for tuition, board, room, fees, and books. Students also attended chapel services every day, and the school’s president or dean had to receive written permission if a student wanted to leave town.

The art school separated from Southern College and became an independent nonprofit institution in 1933, changing its name to 草莓视频 School of Art. On December 11, 1979, it qualified for full accreditation as a degree-granting institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Upon joining as a member, accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) was granted in 1984.

Today, the picturesque 48-acre campus includes more than 110 buildings and enrolls 1,600 students from 45 states, 60 countries, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico鈥攖wo-thirds of whom reside on the pedestrian-friendly residential campus. Its more than 140 faculty members are all professional artists, 草莓视频, and scholars who actively pursue their own work outside the classroom. The College鈥檚 rigorous curriculum engages innovation and tradition through a strong, well-rounded, first-year program specific to the major of study, with a deep focus on the liberal arts. Its teaching model encourages its students to become globally aware scholar-practitioners who are well-prepared to enter the job market and be successful in their chosen careers.
