International Academy of Art Palestine

International Academy of Art Palestine PROJECT

The International Academy of Art Palestine (The Academy) is an institution-building project which aims to develop a higher education facility specialized in the arts. The Academy aspires to be an autonomous, distinctive and professional institution, granting Bachelor of Arts degrees in Contemporary Visual Arts and, eventually, Master level degrees for future artists. The Academy will strengthen artistic development and communication by ensuring the sustainability of the Palestinian arts and culture sector.

The basic mission in establishing an academy of art is to tap into the creative side of the mind and foster creativity, originality, alternative thinking, and productivity while creating a space for freedom of expression.

The Academy is essentially a Palestinian venture that is anchored in its own culture to maintain the collective Palestinian memory, history and cultural identity. The Academy will offer the local population and the international community new images of Palestine and Palestinians that situate Palestinian art within the international art community.

The project to establish the International Academy of Art Palestine is funded by the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norway for the first three years.
