This month’s cover features an image of students participating in Saturday Morning Art Classes at the Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD). CCAD has one of the longest running youth art programs in the country. The Saturday Morning Art Classes for student’s grades 1 through 12 began in 1880 and continue today.

The image is part of the college’s archive collection, housed in the CCAD Packard Library Special Collections. The CCAD Archive serves as the official memory of the institution. Its mission is to document the history of CCAD and to select, preserve, and make accessible primary source materials that have long-term value for research and instruction at CCAD. Items within the collection date back to when the Columbus Art School was founded in the late 1800s. Learn more at https://ccad.libguides.com/archivesandlocalhistory.
