OTIS ART INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY
The Otis Art Institute was founded in 1918 through the gift of General Harrison Gray Otis to
Los Angeles County. It functioned as a professional art school until 19 54, when it was reorganized
as an upper division and graduate college. Its unique curriculum, beginning at the thirdyear
college level, leads to the degree of Master of Fine Arts. It is fully accredited by the Western
Association of Schools and Colleges and is a member of the Western College Association.
In addition to offering professional instruction in drawing, design, painting, sculpture,
graphics, and ceramics, the curriculum also includes a three-year program of liberal arts
courses such as advanced English composition, the history of civilization and its art and architecture
from primitive to contemporary times, literary and artistic judgment, philosophy, and
the theory of science. Its purpose, beyond that of furnishing a sound professional education
in art, is to also stress the importance to its students of awareness of the needs and aspirations
of the society in which they will take a creative part.
The Institute's Gallery was opened in 1957. Its purpose, rather than to acquire permanent
collections, is to bring to the students of the college and to the general public, a program
of exhibitions which change continuously and vary in content and theme. These include some
that are national in scope, others that are educational in purpose, as well as of major concern
4 to the students, such as the annual display of the graduate theses work.
