Pratt Institute
Pratt Institute was founded in 1887 in Brooklyn, New York by industrialist Charles Pratt, originally established to provide practical, affordable technical and vocational education to working-class students, before evolving over the following century into a prominent art, design, and architecture school. The school built particularly strong reputations in architecture, industrial design, and fine arts, and its Brooklyn location has given students unusually close proximity to New York City's broader creative and design industries compared to schools located outside major urban centers. Pratt's origins as a practical vocational institution founded by a wealthy industrialist reflect a distinctly different founding philosophy than many art schools established primarily around fine arts education, and that practical design orientation has remained part of Pratt's institutional identity. Pratt Institute's combination of its founding by industrialist Charles Pratt as a practical vocational school and its later growth into a prominent architecture and design institution has made it one of the most historically distinctive art schools in the country.
VS
School of the Art Institute of Chicago
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago was founded in 1866, making it one of the oldest art schools in the United States, and it has operated in close connection with the adjacent Art Institute of Chicago museum, giving students direct access to one of the largest art museum collections in the country. The school built a particularly strong reputation in fine arts and has historically emphasized experimental and conceptual approaches to art-making, and its notable alumni include influential figures across painting, photography, and contemporary art more broadly. The school's deep integration with a major encyclopedic art museum is relatively unusual among American art schools, letting students study working artworks spanning thousands of years of art history as a direct extension of their own studio training. The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's combination of its status as one of the oldest American art schools and its unique direct integration with a major world-class art museum has made it one of the most academically distinctive art schools in the country.
