Abstract:
The University of Nova Gorica School of Arts is a young and dynamic art school, offering interdisciplinary study programs in Digital Arts and Practices (BA) and its follow-up – Master of Arts in Media Arts and Practices, through the Modules of Animation, Film, Photography, New Media, Scenographic spaces and Art-Science-Technology, with a focus on Contemporary Art Practice. To foster students’ development as independent creators, researchers, and agents of change, the school pursues a personal approach and an advanced attitude toward interdisciplinary cooperation as well as artistic research, in particular in combining the arts with other disciplines within and beyond academia.

ADRIART.net – Advancing Interactions in Art Teaching.Besides such pedagogy and curriculum development projects, they have been fostering international alliances and advancing interdisciplinary research in projects such as:

and have founded ADRIART.CE, a growing network of art academies from Central and South Eastern Europe.
