The Oslo National Academy of the Arts strives to maintain a leading position in the education of creative and performing artists and designers. The Academy is intended both as an arena for innovation within academic traditions, and as a future-oriented contributor to knowledge and social development. International cooperation is a prerequisite for quality, both in education and in research.
The Oslo National Academy of the Arts trains independent and engaged artists and designers who decisively influence artistic and cultural life in Norway. Over many decades, the artists and designers who have emerged from the Academy have shaped the agenda in the fields of theatre, dance, opera, visual arts, craft and design in Norway. The Oslo National Academy of the Arts helps to fill Norwegian and international performance and exhibition spaces. The Academy will continue to produce professional creatives who make a difference – not only to art and design, but also to society. The artistic ambitions and commitment of our students, together with the exceptional skills and competence of our staff, form the principal raw materials for the school’s activities. The students of today will be the artists and designers of tomorrow. Their perspective is fundamental to the development of the school.
Artistic research at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts is a source of new art and design, and new knowledge about and insights into art and its contexts. Artistic practice serves to deepen experience and understanding in ways that add new perspectives to existing knowledge paradigms. In an era that places high demands on the capacity to be flexible and on openness to change, artistic research at the Academy seeks to cultivate new perspectives and approaches that both reinvigorate the artistic disciplines and contribute to social development more broadly. It is expected that artistic research at the Academy should be groundbreaking, contribute to developments within the various fields, and be rooted in artistic practice.
The Oslo National Academy of the Arts is an educational institution with exceptional community contacts. To contribute to the development of art and culture is to contribute to the development of a democratic society that prioritises values such as freedom of expression, education, and respect for aesthetic experience. With an active policy of using artists as guest teachers, a specialised teaching staff, and an on-going programme of student performances and exhibitions, we cultivate a learning environment with close links to the professional and practical field. The Oslo National Academy of the Arts seeks to be outgoing and active in its interactions with the professional art world nationally and internationally, and to play a clear and dynamic role in society.
The Oslo National Academy of the Arts seeks to optimise its use of human and material resources for the benefit of education, artistic research and dissemination, and to be an attractive place to work and study.
The Oslo National Academy of the Arts strives for constructive interactions which allow us to help each other develop and to better ourselves. We seek to develop transparent processes for knowledge-based decision-making and prioritisation. We aim to enable professional knowledge and ideas to collide in productive and stimulating ways. We value diversity, critical awareness, responsibility and mutual respect.
