Wimbledon College of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wimbledon School of Art)
Wimbledon College of Art is an art school based in Wimbledon and Merton Park, south-west London. It is part of the federally structured University of the Arts London. The College is divided into three academic schools and occupies premises on two sites: Merton Hall Road (School of Fine Arts and School of Theatre) and Palmerston Road (School of Foundation Studies).
The College has its origins in 1890 as an art class for Rutlish School. It was previously known as Wimbledon School of Art and operated as an independent establishment with its degrees validated by the University of Surrey.
On 1 August 2006, the College became part of the University of the Arts London and changed to its present name. Degrees are awarded by the federal university.
