History
The school of fine arts was founded in 1748 by Reims local government. Its founder, Louis-Jean Lévesque de Pouilly, sought to attract artists, architects and craftsmen from France and neighbouring countries .
In 1992, the French Minister of Culture and the town of Reims declared the school a college of fine arts and design. The college manager, Gervais Jassaud, recruited practicing designers as teaching staff.
The school offers courses in graphic, multimedia, product and furniture design, as well as studies in fine art. ESAD offers both bachelor's and master's degrees.
ESAD has approximately 200 students and 40 permanent teaching staff, as well as visiting artists and lecturers.
