Chelsea College Of Art And DesignThe Chelsea College of Art and Design, the erstwhile Chelsea School of Art (1928-2001), is just one of the University of the Arts London's five constituent colleges, albeit one of the world's premier schools of art and design. It was founded in 1891 and alongside its stablemates is seen as something of a dying breed in the UK. Having once spanned four sites, the college has now set up camp at Millbank having made the decisive transition for the academic year of 2004-05. The substantial notable alumni contrasts with a modest student intake of 1,500 on site in any one year. Notable Alumni - Anthony Caro, abstract sculptor
- Steve McQueen, 1999 Turner Prize winner
- Chris Ofili, 1998 Turner Prize winner
- Gillian Wearing, 1997 Turner Prize winner
- Paul Nash, war artist
- Anish Kapoor, 1991 Turner Prize winner
- Gavin Turk, artist
- Mark Wallinger, artist
- Quentin Blake, children's illustrator
- Patrick Caulfield, printer and printmaker
- Elizabeth Frink, sculptor and printmaker
Status Presently (ie., as of 2005) huddled next to London's Tate gallery at Millbank. It is a sister college of the likes of the Camberwell and Central St Martins colleges, they too of an artistic allegiance. External link
