Antonelli Institute of Art and Photography

The Antonelli Institute of Art and Photography, founded in 1938 by internationally renowned commercial photographer and visual artist Severo Antonelli, was a private, for-profit higher education institution primarily offering Associate's Degrees in Graphic Design and Photography. For nearly 80 years, the institute provided hands-on instruction in creative visual arts, with programs historically located at its campus in Erdenheim, PA. In 2017, it announced its closure, ceasing new enrollments, and formally closed in May 2018. The institute's legacy and programs in Digital Design and Photography were subsequently transferred to Harcum College. It was historically accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges.
