Founded in 1866 as an academy to train artists, crafts workers, architects, and designers, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has transitioned from an acclaimed regional college to a national and international center of excellence. We are annually ranked as America's leading institute of the visual arts for graduate study, and have been described in a national survey as "the most influential art college in the USA."
