History [edit]

In 1866, a grouping of 35 artists founded the Chicago Academy of Pattern in a studio on Dearborn Street, with the intent to run a free school with its own art gallery. The organisation was modeled later European art academies, such every bit the Imperial University, with Academicians and Acquaintance Academicians. The Academy'southward charter was granted in March 1867.

Classes started in 1868, meeting every mean solar day at a price of $10 per month. The Academy's success enabled information technology to build a new home for the school, a five-story stone building on 66 West Adams Street, which opened on November 22, 1870.

When the Groovy Chicago Fire destroyed the edifice in 1871 the University was thrown into debt. Attempts to continue despite the loss past using rented facilities failed. By 1878, the University was $x,000 in debt. Members tried to rescue the bilious institution past making deals with local businessmen, before some finally abandoned it in 1879 to found a new organization, named the Chicago University of Fine Arts. When the Chicago Academy of Design went broke the same year, the new Chicago University of Fine Arts bought its assets at auction.

In 1882, the Chicago University of Fine Arts changed its name to the electric current Art Institute of Chicago and elected as its offset president the banker and philanthropist Charles 50. Hutchinson, who "is arguably the single about of import private to have shaped the direction and fortunes of the Art Plant of Chicago".^{[7] : 5} Hutchinson was a director of many prominent Chicago organizations, including the University of Chicago,^[8] and would transform the Fine art Establish into a earth-class museum during his presidency, which he held until his death in 1924.^[9] Also in 1882, the organization purchased a lot on the southwest corner of Michigan Avenue and Van Buren Street for $45,000.

The commercial building was demolished,^[10] and the noted architect John Wellborn Root was hired by Hutchinson to blueprint a building that would create an "impressive presence" on Michigan Avenue,^{[7] : 22–23} and these facilities opened to groovy fanfare in 1887.^{[seven] : 24}
