The education of artists became a national discussion in America during the last third of the nineteenth century. In the wake of the Civil War, businesses began to retool, searching for new ways to bolster export products and increase manufacturing. Civic leaders embarked on projects that would build cultural foundations in their rapidly expanding cities. The formation of schools of design during this period is no mere coincidence. The idea of promoting the arts (and artists) not only appealed to the manufacturers and to the emerging social groups, whose agenda included the improvement of living conditions and the development of cultural organizations, but it was also considered one of the possible solutions to their problems. Cincinnati, a city eager to rebuild after the Civil War, was one of the earliest to embrace these ideas and comprehend the potential of linking art with industry. The opening of the McMicken School of Design in Cincinnati (later to become the Art Academy of Cincinnati) in 1869 reestablished the city as an important center for artists and art education throughout the expanding Midwest region.

520 $a The education of artists became a national discussion in America during the last third of the nineteenth century. In the wake of the Civil War, businesses began to retool, searching for new ways to bolster export products and increase manufacturing. Civic leaders embarked on projects that would build cultural foundations in their rapidly expanding cities. The formation of schools of design during this period is no mere coincidence. The idea of promoting the arts (and artists) not only appealed to the manufacturers and to the emerging social groups, whose agenda included the improvement of living conditions and the development of cultural organizations, but it was also considered one of the possible solutions to their problems. Cincinnati, a city eager to rebuild after the Civil War, was one of the earliest to embrace these ideas and comprehend the potential of linking art with industry. The opening of the McMicken School of Design in Cincinnati (later to become the Art Academy of Cincinnati) in 1869 reestablished the city as an important center for artists and art education throughout the expanding Midwest region.
520 $a This study of the founding and first thirty years of the Art Academy of Cincinnati examines the economic and social conditions that led the city to establish this school of design in 1868. Support from the business community helped to promote the idea for a school, but it was the financial backing of philanthropist and art lover, Joseph Longworth, who actually moved the project forward. Although the first principal and teacher, Thomas Satterwhite Noble, was a promising young art academician, the fledgling art school chose to direct its education to the industrial classes of the city.
520 $a Of particular interest are the teaching pedagogies used by the early instructional staff, especially Benn Pitman, who championed the creation of art-carved furniture and prepared young artists for work at the successful Rookwood Pottery. Despite the national reputation of its first director, Thomas Satterwhite Noble, a rising star at the National Academy of Design, Cincinnati's art school struggled to establish its defining identity during the first twenty years of operation. However, in the face of conflicts and criticism, the school was productive in ways the founders could not foresee. The art school in Cincinnati became an important and influential site for the American decorative arts movement, particularly the Rookwood Pottery, which flowered in the city in the mid-1880s. By the 1890s, this hybrid program that combined early design education with elements of academic training was able to provide both a culture for artists to thrive and serve as a training ground Cincinnati's thriving art industries.
