History [edit]

In 1866, a group of 35 artists founded the Chicago Academy of Design in a studio on Dearborn Street, with the intent to run a gratis school with its own fine art gallery. The organization was modeled afterward European fine art academies, such equally the Royal Academy, with Academicians and Acquaintance Academicians. The University's charter was granted in March 1867.

Classes started in 1868, meeting every day at a cost of $10 per month. The Academy's success enabled information technology to build a new habitation for the school, a five-story stone building on 66 West Adams Street, which opened on November 22, 1870.

When the Great Chicago Fire destroyed the building in 1871 the University was thrown into debt. Attempts to continue despite the loss past using rented facilities failed. Past 1878, the Academy was $x,000 in debt. Members tried to rescue the ailing institution by making deals with local businessmen, earlier some finally abased it in 1879 to found a new organization, named the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. When the Chicago Academy of Design went bankrupt the same twelvemonth, the new Chicago Academy of Fine Arts bought its assets at sale.

In 1882, the Chicago University of Fine Arts changed its name to the current Fine art Constitute of Chicago and elected as its first president the broker and philanthropist Charles L. Hutchinson, who "is arguably the single most of import individual to have shaped the direction and fortunes of the Fine art Constitute of Chicago".^{[7] : 5} Hutchinson was a managing director of many prominent Chicago organizations, including the Academy of Chicago,^[viii] and would transform the Art Institute into a world-course museum during his presidency, which he held until his death in 1924.^[9] Besides in 1882, the system purchased a lot on the southwest corner of Michigan Avenue and Van Buren Street for $45,000.

The commercial building was demolished,^[ten] and the noted architect John Wellborn Root was hired by Hutchinson to design a building that would create an "impressive presence" on Michigan Avenue,^{[7] : 22–23} and these facilities opened to great fanfare in 1887.^{[vii] : 24}

With the announcement of the World's Columbian Exposition to be held in 1892–93, the Art Institute pressed for a building on the lakefront to exist synthetic for the fair, but to be used by the Institute afterwards.
