MIAD’s predecessor was the Layton School of Art, an institution with a rich history and a tradition of excellence. Layton was founded in 1920 by Charlotte R. Partridge and Miriam Frink. The two women were life partners and worked tirelessly together from 1920 until their forced retirement in 1954 to build Layton to an accredited institution of higher education with a national reputation. The Layton School of Art attracted some of the finest faculty in the region and by 1954 the school was serving over 1000 students through both day and evening courses.
Degree programs include Communication Design, Drawing, Illustration, Industrial Design, Integrated Studio Arts, Interior Architecture + Design, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Time-Based Media.
The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design is a degree granting college where individuals discover and realize their creative potential.
