Founded in 1931 by noted art collector, real estate developer
and circus impresario John Ringling, the School was originally
named “The School of Fine and Applied Art of the John
and Mable Ringling Art Museum,” and began its operation
in Sarasota, Florida.
In 1979 a name change to “Ringling School of Art and
Design,” occurred to more accurately reflect the emphasis
being placed on the various aspects of design. What started
out as a small, local institution has now grown in scale and
reputation to be considered one of the country’s premier
visual arts colleges – cultivating the creative spirit
in art and design students from around the world.
More than 1,000 students from 42 states and 47 countries study
at Ringling whose campus is one of the nation's most technologically
advanced and includes 60 new and renovated buildings on 37
acres.
A reception to honor the artists will be held on Friday, November
5th, from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. The public is invited.
