Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Cornish School of Allied Arts was founded by Nellie C. Cornish in 1914 as the Cornish School of Music, located in the Booth Building at Broadway and Pine Street in Seattle. Nellie Cornish wanted to educate artists through exposure to all art forms, and within the next few years, expanded the curriculum to offer courses in dance, visual arts, theater, and design. The school became the first in the western United States to offer comprehensive training in all of the arts.
Nellie Cornish recruited both famous and unknown artists for her faculty, including painter Mark Tobey, dancer and choreographer Martha Graham, and artists fleeing from the Russian revolution, such as Peter Merenblum. Her focus, however, was not to bring art to a privileged elite, but to nurture creativity in the average person and enrich the lives of all, not just the talented, by means of art.
After World War I, and faced with the Cornish School's impending financial crisis, a group of prominent, welthy women and their husbands formed a Board of Trustees to raise funds for a new facility. In 1921, the School moved to a new, picturesque building on East Roy Street, with Nellie Cornish living in an upstairs apartment.
While the School's programs flourished, Cornish faced repeated financial crises. In 1924, with the school unable to pay the mortgage on its property, a group of benefactors formed the non-profit Cornish School Foundation to manage finances, and named Nellie Cornish the lifetime director of educational programs, working in coordination with the Foundation's Board of Trustees and the Women's Advisory Committee. After 1939, with the resignation of Nellie Cornish, a Faculty governing Board directed the school until 1946. The Music and Art Foundation, a women's civic organization formed in 1923 to encourage young people to develop their creative and artistic talents, assumed ownership and administrative responsibility of the Cornish School in 1954.
In 1977, Cornish School of Allied Arts became Cornish Institute of Allied Arts, a fully accredited college offering Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Music degrees. In 1986, the college was renamed the Cornish College of the Arts. Cornish College opened a new campus in downtown Seattle in 2003.

- Cornish School of Allied Arts
- Cornish School Of Allied Arts, Registrar
- Miss Aunt Nellie: The Autobiography Of Nellie C. Cornish
- Music and Art Foundation
Scope and Content: Correspondence, minutes, reports, scrapbooks, phonodiscs, audio tape, film, photos, catalogues; 1916-1975, 1978.
The main body of the materials, Cornish School of Allied Arts series, documents the operations of the school, except for the functions administered by the Registrar. Records generated and accumulated by the latter have been arranged in a separate series.
The Miss Aunt Nellie series includes three drafts of Nellie Cornish's manuscripts. Most correspondence in this series relates to the Cornish Alumni Association, which, after Ms. Cornish's death, carried on the effort to get the manuscript published.
Materials in the Music and Art Foundation series document the Foundation's administration of Cornish since it assumed ownership in 1954.
Restrictions on Access: Open to all users. Due to the fragile state of the originals in this accession, researchers should use the microfilm copies of the scrapbooks (Accession No. 2654-002).
Some material stored offsite; advance notice required for use.
Acquisition Info: Gift of the Cornish School via Ron McComb, Doris Tuck, Melvin Strauss, March 1, 1976
Processing Info: Student registration records in boxes 31-39 were returned to Cornish in July 1985, resulting in a gap in box numbers between box 30 and box 40.
One scrapbook regarding Bellingham musical events was transferred to Western Washington University with permission of Ron McComb in October 1979.
Processing Info: Photographs have been relocated to the Cornish School Photograph Collection, PH Coll 235.
