The School of Art, Bournville (formerly Bournville College of Art and Bournville Centre for Visual Arts but better known as Bournville School of Art) was an art school in Birmingham, England. It was located at Ruskin Hall on Linden Road in the area of Bournville. It became part of Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD) at Birmingham City University when it merged with the university in 1988 when the latter was still Birmingham Polytechnic.{{Cite news | title = 100 Great Things About the West Midlands | newspaper = Birmingham Post | pages = 1 | publisher = Trinity Mirror Midlands | date = 29 September 2008 }}

The school was refurbished for £6 million in 2002 and reopened on 21 October 2002, precisely 100 years after the foundation stone for Ruskin Hall was laid.{{Cite news | title = Focus on the arts | newspaper = Birmingham Evening Mail | pages = 7 | publisher = Trinity Mirror Midlands | date = 17 October 2002 }} It was home to the International Project Space, and is the site of Birmingham's annual Creative Partnerships exhibition, a showcase of contemporary and visual art produced by local school students.{{Cite news | title = Rap delight at creative arts show | newspaper = Birmingham Evening Mail | location = South City Final Edition | pages = 20 | publisher = Trinity Mirror Midlands | date = 12 July 2006 }} The centre was the subject of controversy in 2008 regarding an exhibition honouring the work of author J.
