The thought for the school began in 1878, when a social gathering of ladies framed the Columbus Art Association. Their standard concern persuaded the chance to be making a craftsmanship school in Columbus. The focal day of classes was January 6, 1879, on the top floor of the Sessions Building at Long and High. Utilization of that floor had been given by Francis Sessions, a workmanship minded money related master and business visionary and one of the essential trustees of the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts. There were just 3 understudies and 1 teacher at the time. Before the end of the school year, there were 118 understudies. Exceptional classes included drawing, watercolor, craftsmanship weaving, oil painting, mud showing up, china painting, and mechanical

drawing. Not long after in the wake of opening, the school included classes like figure and figure drawing with dressed models, as stripped models were considered unreasonably suggestive in Columbus at the time. In 1885, the school moved to the Tuller Building at Gay and Fourth St as a consequent result of the poor ventilation and vapors moving from the Troy Stream Laundry on the floors underneath the school in the Sessions Block.In his will, Francis Sessions went out to serve as a space for the showcase furthermore left a clearing aggregate of cash to gather an unrivaled space for the presentation and for the continuation of the Columbus Art School. The school moved two more times before 1914, when it moved into the Monypeny Mansion by the Sessions House. In 1923, the school, which had been controlled by the Columbus Art Association however reinforced by the showcase, centered into one board. Through this merger, the Columbus Art Association watched the opportunity to be wiped out, and the trustees of the showcase made a school admonitory party board. Among the staff beginning now was painter Alice Schille.
