The Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano is unique among all the Italian Art and Design academies. It was the first and is the largest and the most innovative private Academy legally recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, and the first to introduce the study of fashion and graphic design in the fine arts curriculum.

Right from its beginning in 1980, it has remained true its mission: celebrating and cultivating the creativity of its students.

Today besides being an Arts and Design training Institution, NABA is also a dynamic artistic and cultural centre strictly connected with the Milanese professional and social environment.

NABA trains students and professionals in areas of Design, Fashion and Textile Design, Theatre Design, Graphic Design and Art Direction, Media Design and Visual Arts. NABA education integrates the more traditional disciplines of visual representation with the new digital technologies.

NABA training programs are based on a cross-disciplinary method aimed at developing artistic-professional skills and profiles. For 30 years NABA has used and refined a proven educational method that thoroughly integrates classroom study with experiential workshop practice. This “learning by doing” approach derives from continuous experimentation and a close relationship with the artistic and productive environment.

NABA is committed to promoting critical thinking, effective communication skills and competence in new technologies in an open and tolerant environment, with the participation of inspiring faculty and lecturers from leading national and international practices. With students from almost 50 different countries NABA community benefits from a broad diversity of cultures and ideas. NABA invites you to contribute to it.
