The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) is a private art school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Founded in 1974, MIAD is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.[1] The Jane Bradley Pettit Building is the college's main academic building, located on the Milwaukee River in the Historic Third Ward.
History
MIAD’s predecessor was the Layton School of Art. Layton was founded in 1920 by business and romantic partners Charlotte R. Partridge and Miriam Frink.[2] The two women worked together from 1920 until their retirement in 1954 to establish Layton as an accredited institution of higher education.
Upon closure of Layton, in 1974, seven faculty members co-founded the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. These included CW Peckenpaugh, Roland Poska and Jack H. White.[3][4]
