Claim: Art Institute of Buffalo founded in 1931 had an agreement with the University at Buffalo's School of Education and has become a artist colony.
Evidence: The Institute was founded in 1931. An agreement with the University at Buffalo's School of Education allowed students of the Institute to earn credit toward a Bachelor's degree in Art Education. The Art Institute was regarded by many observers in the Buffalo community as a Bohemian artist colony, and many Institute artists saw themselves that way.
