WINCHESTER SCHOOL OF ART

1870 - ?

Winchester School of Art was founded in 1870 and originally occupied the City’s twelfth-century Wolvesey Palace. During the Second World War the nearby Southampton College of Art was evacuated to Winchester and the schools merged on a temporary basis. For some ninety years the School sought a permanent home and in 1962 it moved to its current buildings in the Kings Court wing of Winchester Guildhall with the School's former library renovated and is now known as ‘Graphics Tower’ playing host to the School’s sixty plus full-time graphics students. In 1996, the School merged with the University of Southampton. Suffolk tutors include William Crozier and Blair Rowlands Hughes-Stanton and artists alumni include Stuart Anderson, Anna Badar, Samantha Barnes, Laura Beardsell-Moore, Liz Clark, Bernard James Davis, musician Brian Eno, Sue Foster, Jules George, Sara Johnson, Malcolm Moseley, Danila Pampanini and Sarah Baddon Price.
