Atlanta College of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atlanta College of Art, established in 1905, was the first not-for-profit
college of design and art in the Southeastern United States. An original partner
of Atlanta's Woodruff Arts Center, Atlanta College of Art adjoins the High
Museum of Art, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Alliance Theatre. A participant
in Atlanta's rich cultural landscape, it offers programming to the Atlanta
region through the Georgia Artists Registry, ACA Gallery shows, and adult
education. The college is located in Midtown Atlanta, a business district
that is home of arts and culture in metropolitan Atlanta.
In the fall of 2005, much to the disapproval of the students and faculty,
the Woodruff Arts Center announced that ACA would consolidate with the Savannah
College of Art and Design. Most recently, the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools informed SCAD and ACA that it
had approved the consolidation/merger of the Savannah College of Art and Design
with the Atlanta College of Art. The consolidation took effect in June of
2006.
