Layton School of Art information


The Layton Art Gallery, original home of the Layton School of Art

The Layton School of Art was a post-secondary school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Originally affiliated with the Layton Art Gallery, it was established by Charlotte Partridge and Miriam Frink in September 1920[1] in the basement of the building. It closed as a result of financial insolvency in 1974.[2] At its closure, the school was regarded as one of the top five art schools in the United States[3] and enjoyed a historical reputation for innovative methods in art education.[citation needed]

A new campus was constructed on the east side of Milwaukee in 1951 at 1362 North Prospect Avenue. This building was razed as part of the construction Park East Freeway in 1970 and the school then moved to a new location at 4650 North Port Washington Road.[4]

Regarded as one of the most progressive art schools in the United States, Layton pioneered several movements in art education.[3]
