  2. The History California Institute of the Arts aka CalArts was founded in 1961 by none other than Walt Disney. It was the first degree-granting institution of higher learning in the United States created specifically for students of both the visual and the performing arts. CalArts was originally formed as a merger of the Chouinard Art Institute (founded 1921) and the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music (founded 1883). The professional relationship between Madame Chouinard and Walt Disney began in 1929 when Disney had no money and Madame Chouinard agreed to train his first animators on a pay-later basis. He never forgot and over the years watched the Chouinard Art Institute grow into the finest art school on the West Coast.
