The Mainz University of Art (formerly: Academy of Fine Arts Mainz) is part of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz together with the Mainz University of Music . It is the only art college in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

Today's art college goes back to the Electoral Painting and Sculpture Academy founded on December 23, 1757 . In 1785 it was affiliated to the Electoral University as a drawing academy. In 1797, teaching was stopped after the Napoleonic troops marched in. Due to the difficult political circumstances, this interruption lasted until 1841, when it was reopened as a craft drawing school . After the incorporation of a model drawing and modeling school , it became a school of arts and crafts , which, after an interruption due to the Second World War, resumed teaching in 1946 as a state building and art school . Further restructuring and name changes ( Landeskunstschule , Staatliche Werkkunstschule , State University Institute for Art and Crafts Education ) followed in 1972 the organizational affiliation as a semi-autonomous department at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz . The department has been called the Academy of Fine Arts since 2001 . In 2010, the academy was removed from the university's departmental structure and achieved greater autonomy. Since then, it has been called the Mainz University of Art at the Johannes Gutenberg University .
