Maryland Institute College of Art Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) is an art university in Baltimore, Maryland. Retrieved on December 13, 2006.) MICA is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), a consortium of thirty-six leading art schools in the United States, as well as the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). Bolstered by a $6 million gift from Eddie and Sylvia Brown, the largest gift ever received by the College, Brown Center houses MICA’s nationally recognized programs in digital art and design, as well as the 525-seat Falvey Hall, which has expanded public programming at MICA. Built in 1896, the Mount Royal Station was the B&O Railway’s showcase passenger station until it ceased its operations at the Station in 1961. MICA purchased the building in 1964 and renovated the building under the direction of architect Richard Donkervoet, who took pains to retain as much of the building’s Richardsonian exterior as possible, and also preserved much of the interior character, including vaulted ceilings, columns, and mosaic floor. Architectural Forum recognized the Mount Royal Station renovation in 1966 for “sensitivity by later architects to the initial conception by the original,” and Margaret Meade, in a lecture given at the Station, commented that the renovation “is perhaps the most magnificent example in the Western World of something being made into something else.” The clock tower was damaged in a 1967 storm, but was restored with the financial assistance of MICA alumnus Jacob Blaustein. In Summer 2005, MICA began a $6.3 million renovation of the building by the architectural firm Grieves, Worrall, Wright & The State of Maryland and Andrew Carnegie contributed funds to build the Main Building, and local businessman Michael Jenkins donated the site for the building. The building, formerly the headquarters of AAA mid-Atlantic, houses the departments of art history, environmental design, and language, literature, and culture, as well as the Pinkard Gallery; The new building was named for trustee George Bunting, who was instrumental in the development of the Fox Building among other projects. MICA purchased an historic Firehouse along North Avenue in 2001 and renovated the building in 2003 to house the College’s operations and facilities management department. Built in 1915 as the Cannon Shoe Factory, the Fox Building was purchased in 1976. The renovations cost $2.5 million, and the building was named for architect Charles James Fox, a 1965 graduate of MICA whose family contributed over $1.5 million of the renovation cost. The building also houses Meyerhoff Gallery, Center for Art Education, Division of Continuing Studies, Mount Royal School of Art, as well as ceramics, illustration, 2-D classrooms, and the Nature Library. Additional buildings making up MICA’s campus include 1210 Mount Royal Avenue, 1212 Mount Royal Avenue, 1229 Mount Royal Avenue, 1501 Mount Royal Avenue, Art Tech Center at 1206-1208 Mount Royal Avenue, Dolphin Building at 100 Dolphin Street, Jewelry Center at Meadow Mill, Kramer House, Main Building Annex, and the MICA Store at 1200 Mount Royal Avenue. When MICA proposed purchasing a lot on McMechen Street that had been vacant for more than 30 years to build the Commons, the Bolton Hill neighborhood not only approved the purchase, but also gave $50,000 in donations. Originally built in to house the Hospital for the Women of Maryland, the building had been a nursing home until it closed in the 1990s. Located at the intersection of Mount Royal and North avenues on a highly visible site alongside the Jones Falls Expressway (I-83), The Gateway is the next major investment by the nationally renowned college of art and design in the revitalization of the North Avenue corridor and Baltimore’s cultural district. The building and its surrounding landscaped plaza create a dramatic major gateway to the city’s Mount Royal Cultural District, and it anchors the north end of the College’s 24-building campus. Among the most selective art colleges in the United States, MICA has consistently enrolled more Presidential Scholars in the Visual Arts than any other college or university in the nation, and in the last several years has enrolled approximately 2/3 of those who received Scholastic Arts’ prestigious Gold Portfolio award. In 11 of the last 14 years, a MICA student has won the National Student Art Achievement Award, which is given by the National Art Education Association for outstanding studio achievement in candidates for teaching.
