HEREFORD COLLEGE OF ARTS

1853 - ?

The Hereford School of Art and Science was opened around 1853 when it was hailed as a self-sustaining success by South Kensington. The Hereford School of Art and Science registers from 1885 shows students from a wide range of backgrounds and industries enrolled in various courses of study. The School of Art and Science continued until 1903, when it moved under the control of the Local Education Authority. In 1944, the Art and Science school at Hereford was known as the Hereford School of Art before becoming the Herefordshire College of Art & Design which incorporated the inclusion of Music and Performing Arts. In 2012, a new Arts Space and main entrance were opened in Folly Lane with a café and exhibition space which hosted several exhibitions and events and one of the directors was Bernard Gay. Suffolk artists who studied at Hereford include Michael Coulter and Rachel Drury.
