N.A.B.A - Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti
INTRODUCTION
NABA is an Academy of Arts and Design which was formed in 1980 by a group of artists, who aimed at challenging the rigid academic tradition by introducing new visions and languages closer to contemporary artistic practice and the creative professions. NABA education integrates the more traditional disciplines of visual representation with the new digital technologies and the critical-project culture of Italian Design. NABA training programs are based on a cross-disciplinary method aimed at developing artistic-professional skills and profiles in the fields of art, design, fashion, media and graphic design.
