Administrative History of the California Institute of the Arts Collection

The California Institute of the Arts, commonly known as Cal Arts, was born in 1961 as Walt Disney’s dream of an ideal environment for artists of different media. Cal Arts is located in Valencia, California, and grants degrees in visual and performing arts. Incorporated on September 1, 1961, it was the first degree-granting institution of higher learning in the United States created specifically for students of both the visual and the performing arts. It was the dream and vision of Walt Disney to create such an institute, who provided funding for it in his will. Initially formed through the merger of the Chouinard Art Institute (founded 1921) and the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music (founded 1883), it opened at its present campus in Valencia, California, in November 1971.
The Los Angeles Conservatory was founded by Emily J. Valentine in 1883. Originally located at 408 South Main Street, the Conservatory eventually occupied buildings on South Figueroa Street and Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood as well as the Pilgrimage Theatre, which was part of the Hollywood Bowl facilities. In September 1962, the Conservatory joined Chouinard in the California Institute of the Arts and moved to 607 South Park View Street, Los Angeles.
Chouinard Art Institute was a professional art school founded in 1921 in Los Angeles, California by Mrs. Nelbert Chouinard (1879-1969), and was incorporated in 1935 as a non-profit educational institution. Between 1955 and 1957 Chouinard received accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In less than a decade the Chouinard Art School was listed among the top five art schools in the nation, a position it occupied for the rest of its fifty-one-year history. But, in 1955 Chouinard was in financial trouble. The financially fragile school asked for and received money from the Walt Disney Studio. It was at this time that Walt Disney began his efforts to straighten out the managerial and financial affairs of the school. During the next five years Walt injected the planning, the funds, and the management talent required to resuscitate the school, and set it toward the goal that he envisioned for the school. Until his death, Walt Disney made up Chouinard’s deficit each year.
Coincidentally, while Walt was investigating the possibility of Cal Arts, the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music was undergoing financial difficulties of its own. After three-quarters of a century of existence, the Conservatory, too had suffered reverses and needed help. This help was supplied by Mrs. Lulu von Hagen and Thornton Ladd of its Board of Trustees. In this period, Mrs. Von Hagen and Mr. Ladd were brought together with Walt Disney, and out of a union of Chouinard and the Conservatory, Cal Arts emerged.
California Institute of the Arts was incorporated on September 1, 1961, and the first Board of Trustees meeting was held the following March. Chouinard and the Conservatory began operating under the name of the Institute while the Trustees began working on the establishment of a permanent campus and a development program. Preparation continued in 1964, when the “ Cal Arts Story” was dramatized on film by the Disney studios and shown at the world premiere of “ Mary Poppins” at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California. Prior to the “ Mary Poppins” premiere, whose proceeds were donated to Cal Arts, Walt Disney and Mrs. Von Hagen introduced the Institute to an audience of 1500 guests in the fifteen-minute special film. Following the showing of the short film and “ Mary Poppins,” the guests attended a champagne reception hosted by Technicolor Corporation. Among those who attended the Premiere were Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, and numerous other Hollywood luminaries.
Walt’s dream would cost a great deal of money. Administrators devoted much of their time to investigating government loans and finding affluent patrons around Southern California. In October 1965 James Jackson was elected Director of the Institute by the school’s Board of Trustees. Jackson had joined Cal Arts in 1964 as a consultant in planning and development, after which he served as Acting Director. As Director, Jackson drew up the applications necessary to secure federal assistance in the construction of the campus. The eventual result of these applications was a $2.2 million federal grant and a $2.8 million federal loan, which, together with the guarantees provided by the Disney Foundation, assured the building of the new campus.
Land for a campus was acquired in 1967 and planning for the physical facilities was immediately undertaken. Disney interests had discovered a simple solution to their land acquisition problem – give Cal Arts part of the Golden Oaks Ranch in Newhall. The 728-acre ranch had belonged to Walt Disney Productions for years. In 1967 the gift property was sold back to the Disney interests so they could find a more spacious and suitable site. Price proposed a 60-acre site down the road from the Placerita ranch, on the edge of the rural town Valencia, located 32 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. At the time, the area was remote from Los Angeles, bordered by Placerita Canyon State Park and a national forest, yet readily accessible to downtown Los Angeles. Other locations had also been considered, such as the Hollywood Bowl area.
Ground was broken for the new campus on May 3, 1969. The proposed grand opening in October 1970, however, would come and go by the time classes were to begin. Construction was frustrated by torrential rains and labor troubles of every variety. So, instead the “new” school began its first year in the buildings of Villa Cabrini Academy, a former Catholic girls’ school on the edge of downtown Burbank. Woefully behind schedule and over budget, the Valencia campus finally opened in November 1971.
Harrison Price, vice-chairman of Cal Arts board of trustees, led the search for a president competent to run the vast program planned for Cal Arts. The search ended with the appointment of Dr. Robert W. Corrigan as the first president of the Institute. Corrigan, former dean of the School of Arts at New York University, was attempting to create a similar mix of artistic disciplines as those that were going to be attempted at Cal Arts.
Corrigan was installed in December 1967. In February 1968, Corrigan was joined by his friend, Herbert Blau, then co-director of the Repertory Theatre of New York’s Lincoln Center. Blau was named provost of the Institute and Dean of the School of Theatre and Dance. Corrigan and Blau worked together to choose the new deans and key faculty people for Cal Arts, who would then select faculty for their own departments. Following Corrigan’s installation, the Development Office at Retlaw Enterprises, Inc. was closed, and development activities were transferred to Cal Arts. The Board of Trustees primary charge to Corrigan was to create totally new programs, “A Community of the Arts” through inter-related schools of Music, Theatre, Film, Art, and Design. By November 1971 all five schools moved to the new, permanent site of Cal Arts in Valencia.
Corrigan held his position until 1972, when he was replaced by William S. Lund, a Disney son-in-law, a Stanford B.A., active in business, real estate, and economic counseling. Lund assumed the position of Chairman of the Board of Trustees as well as Chief Administrative Officer for the Institute. In February 1975 Robert John Fitzpatrick accepted the presidency of Cal Arts. Prior to his installation as president, Fitzpatrick had been dean of Students at John Hopkins Hospital University in Baltimore, Maryland since 1972, and a member of the Baltimore City Council since 1971. Fitzpatrick was getting ready to run for Congress when Cal Arts called to offer him the presidency of the institution. Fitzpatrick took strident measures to open up the campus, develop new bases of financial support, and strengthen the board of trustees.
Admission to Cal Arts was based solely on artistic ability and potential. Students received intensive professional training in the area of his/her career purpose without being cast into a rigid pattern. Instructional emphasis was placed on the development of the professional artist – the artist of tomorrow. “There is an urgent need,” said Disney, “for a professional school which will not only give its students thorough training in a specific field, but will also allow the widest possible range of artistic growth and expression.”

Disney at a special ceremony in the State Dining Room at the White House. Congress simultaneously authorized the U.S. Mint to issue a limited number of bronze replicas designated for the specific purpose of providing financial support for Cal Arts. The bronze medal was given as a token of appreciation to each contributor of $100 or more to Cal Arts. The three-inch, eight-ounce bronze medallion bears a portrait of Walt Disney on the obverse of the medal, designed and sculpted by Blaine Gibson. The reverse, bearing the likeness of famous Disney cartoon characters, was designed by Bob Moore and executed by Joe Kaba. All are Disney artists.
