GUILDFORD SCHOOL OF ART
Guildford School of Art was formed in 1856 as Guildford Working Men's Institution and was one of several schools of art run by Surrey County Council. The Guildford Institute and the Science, Art and Technical classes run by Surrey County Council separated in 1910 and in 1939, the institution then known as the School of Art, moved into Stoke Park Mansion. Guildford School of Art had a photography department and in 1957 was referred to as the Guildford School of Art and Photography. In 1969 the School merged with Farnham School of Art to become the West Surrey College of Art & Design and in 1995 the West Surrey College of Art & Design merged with the Epsom School of Art to form Surrey Institute of Art & Design. In 2005 the Kent Institute of Art & Design and Surrey Institute of Art & Design and University College merged to form University for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone & Rochester. In 2008 he University College for the Creative Arts received its university title from the Privy Council and was renamed the University for the Creative Arts. Suffolk artists who studied at Guildford include Deborah Celia Joanna Ardizzone, John Astle, Elisabeth Jean Frink, Jude Lockie, Kate Ponsonby and Nicholas Pratt.
