In 1924, Mills College of Art and Advertising was established in St. Paul. Lowell Bobleter acquired Mills College in 1948 and renamed it the "School of the Associated Arts." Lowell Bobleter was a prominent St. Paul artist and educator and had directed the School of Fine Arts at Hamline University. Bobleter had a vision of developing an art school that would offer students a more comprehensive and progressive program based on the Bauhaus model: an integrated program including both fine and applied arts, with general courses in humanities, natural sciences and aesthetics.
Programming at the College of Visual Arts fulfills the college's mission to "educate men and women to explore opportunities and develop the skills and confidence necessary to become accomplished artists in the dynamic world of art and design." The mission is carried out through educational programming that nourishes each student's abilities, helping each person to realize his or her full creative and intellectual potential.
