Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano (NABA)'s Mission Statement

NABA's education integrates the traditional disciplines of visual representation, the contemporary digital practices as well as the critical project culture of Italian design. NABA's training philosophy is based on the project-applied Art, synthesis of creative sensitivity, critical-methodological knowledge and technical-manual know-how. NABA's programs are characterised by an interdisciplinary methodology aimed at the development of artistic-professional skills and profiles. This approach is the result of a constant experimentation, of a strong vocation to research and to the relation with the artistic and productive context as well as of an attention paid to the ethic dimension of training.
