Prestigious History

Ecole Parsons à Paris, originally known as the Paris Ateliers, was established in 1921, by Frank Alvah Parsons, then director of the New York school of Fine and Applied Art. After his death the New York School was renamed in his honor to Parsons School of Design. The Paris Ateliers was the first American art institution abroad to provide a formal full-time program in the visual arts.
