A Message from the President

A Message From The President Thank you for your interest in Nossi College of Art. Nossi College of Art is a small, private college founded in 1973. It is the culmination of a dream of mine. I dreamed for the opportunity to teach creative students to be able to use their talents to earn a living with those gifts. That dream has come true with Nossi College of Art. And, at Nossi College of Art, we encourage all our students to dream their own dreams. Someday, I hope that their dreams will also come true. Located in Nashville, Tennessee, Nossi College of Art now has its own campus with a building that was specifically designed to meet the needs of our Illustration, Design and Photography students. But even more important than a campus designed for artists are the curriculums that we have developed for our students. We offer three bachelor degrees and two associate degrees. All five of these degrees have extremely strong programs that prepare our graduates for productive careers as commercial artists. In addition to the academic aspects of their degrees, we teach our students to think. We have an environment that supports creativity and encourages students to “think outside the box.” We are continually in a state of upgrade. We are always trying to improve and make our curriculums better. Because of this, we now have programs that can be successfully matched against any programs in the nation. But the strength of any college is its faculty. All of our faculty members have earned livings as professionals in the fields that they are teaching. In addition to having an academic college degree in their fields, they bring real world experiences to our classrooms. We are proud of them and the excellent teaching that goes on in our studios, classrooms and labs. Our newest degree program is the bachelor degree in Digital Photography and Video. We already have a waiting list of musical performers who want our videography students to make music video for them. Our students produce music videos as a project in one of their classes. The word has already gotten out in Nashville about the excellent quality of these videos. Our graduates are always in demand. When they walk across that stage and I hand them their diplomas, I am so proud of each one of them. I know they will be successful. If you are determined to develop your creative talents and are willing to work toward a career in visual communication, Nossi College of Art may be just the college for you. We can make your dream of becoming a professional artist come true!
