Apartments for rent in Massachusetts College of Art and Design, MA

Boston-area business and community leaders appealed to the Massachusetts State Legislature during the 1860s to create a number of institutions dedicated to stimulating interest and learning in the fields of technology and fine art. In addition to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Museum of Fine Arts, this movement also led to the development of the Massachusetts Normal Art School in 1873. Founders Walter Smith and Charles Callahan Perkins wanted a blend of arts and business learning. Today, the school has evolved into the Massachusetts College of Art and Design - commonly known as MassArt.
