History
75 Arlington Street, also known as the former Paine Furniture Building, is the site of the galleries of the New England School of Art and Design

The school was founded in 1923 as the New England School of Art. It was known by this name until 1975, when:

"it was renamed The New England School of Art & Design and at the same time, moved to 28 Newbury Street where it resided for the next twenty years. The School of Art & Design is currently located at 75 Arlington Street in Boston's Back Bay, where it occupies over 43, 000 square feet in a modern facility with state-of-the-art classrooms, studios and equipment ... The academic collaboration between The New England School of Art & Design and Suffolk University began in 1988 with an articulation agreement, allowing art and design students to enroll in Suffolk courses. The following year joint Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees were offered in Fine Arts, Graphic Design and Interior Design. In 1996, the two institutions successfully merged, and The School of Art & Design became a department within the College of Art & Sciences."[2]
