Michaelis School of Fine Art

Michaelis School of Fine Art was founded in 1925, and is the Fine Arts department of the University of Cape Town, also housing the Michaelis Collection named for Sir Max Michaelis who in 1920 endowed the chair of Fine Art at the University. It is located at 31-37 Orange Street in Cape Town on Hiddingh Campus adjacent to the Cape Town Company Gardens. Associate Professor Stephen Inggs is the Director of the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town. He is also co-founder of the Katrine Harries Print Cabinet with Pippa Skotnes.

There are three research institutions associated with the school, namely The Lucy Lloyd Archive, Research and Exhibition Centre (LLAREC), the Centre for Curating the Archive (CCA) and the Katrine Harries Print Cabinet, which has been instrumental in promoting printmaking as well as conserving and exhibiting prints in the collection. The major graduate degree offered at the School is the Master of Fine Art where students work in both new and traditional fine art disciplines. Courses are offered in Design, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture and Curatorship.
