Provincial Institute of Technology and Art

Institute of Technology and Art

Provincial Institute of Technology and Art (PITA) was the predecessor institution[1][2][3][4] of both the Alberta University of the Arts and Southern Alberta Institute of Technology.

In 1933, Marion Nicoll became its first permanent woman instructor.[5][6] She taught there from 1933 to 1965, leading the School of Crafts and achieving the status of being one of the most nationally recognized artists on staff.[7] During her time there, the School of Painting only had male instructors, including James Stanford Perrott (who had been Nicoll's student), Henry G. Glyde, Walter Phillips, and Illingworth Kerr.[8]
