Works From The Layton School of Art
October 3 - December 8, 2023
at The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design
In 1921, Charlotte Partridge and Miriam Frink opened an innovative art college in the basement of Milwaukee’s Frederick Layton Art Gallery. Despite facing challenges like the Great Depression and World War II, the school was able to adapt to wartime America and it played a vital role in nurturing Wisconsin’s creative workforce as well as shaping Milwaukee’s art scene as we know it today.
The Layton School of Art closed in 1974. However, its legacy lives on through the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD), which continues to preserve and showcase the Layton School of Art Collection—an invaluable resource comprising archival materials, drawings, paintings, various forms of design work, and more.
