CHICAGO, IL.- The School of the Art Institute of Chicago announced a $1 million gift to the school from the Margot and Tom Pritzker Family Foundation intended to enhance the school’s ability to recruit students from China. The gift has been designated to support scholarships that will assist students who are committed to the advancement of art and design in China and who intend to pursue their vocations and work in that country after graduation. Mayor Richard M. Daley announced the gift last night at a dinner honoring Chinese President Hu Jintao, who was presented with this gesture of friendship on behalf of the people of Chicago. Announcing the gift, the Mayor said, “Chicago is home to one of our nation’s great schools of art and design: the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. It is one of the oldest accredited independent schools of art and design in the United States and attracts students from around the world.” Tom Pr
