Part of the University College London, the Slade School of Art was founded in 1868 as the result of an endowment by Felix Slade. Many of the most accomplished British artists since have studied at the Slade, which offers both graduate and post-graduate qualifications; Lucian Freud and Roger Fry are among the many distinguished past members of the teaching staff.
The Slade’s foundation in 1871 was made possible by a bequest from Felix Slade who envisaged a school where fineart would be studied within a liberal arts university.
Slade’s belief in fineart as a subject worthy of study in its own right and belonging within a humanist liberal arts tradition was radical at a time when almost all British artschools existed to service the needs of industry.
The Slade continues to approach the study and practice of art in an enquiring, investigative, experimental and research-minded way, consciously contributing to the lively discourses of contemporary art, nationally and internationally.
The SladeSchool of FineArt is concerned with contemporary art and the practice, history and theories that inform it.
