Penza Art College was created by the personal funds of the Penza Lieutenant-General N. D. Seliverstov, who has bequeathed to Penza town three thousand rubles, and his entire collection of books and paintings "for the establishment of the Drawing School."
The first director of the college was a famous artist, an  academician of painting Konstantin Savitsky. He made a number of changes to the layout and design of the building and he developed a training program that largely resembled existed before the reform program in 1891 the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
