ABSTRACT: Photographs of the Layton School of Art and Design in Milwaukee, Wis. which document the operations and educational approach of an art school which closed in 1974. Most of the photographs were taken between 1954 and 1974. Although there are views of the physical plant, faculty, Layton Art Gallery, and student life; the bulk of the photographs pertain to a variety of art classrooms and activity therein, student art projects, and an array of temporary exhibitions displayed at the school. Exhibits included African sculpture, Olivetti, Northwest Coast Indian, Architectural Steel, Illustrators and Designers of Milwaukee, Good Design is Ageless, and the 1948 Wisconsin State Centennial exhibition.
