Trondheim Art School was started just after the second
world war by local artists who saw the need for a
professional art education in the city. In 1979 the
school became part of the Norwegian college system
and in 1987 it was established as a national academy
of fine art. Since 1996 Trondheim Academy of Fine
Art (KIT) has been a part of the faculty
of architecture and visual art at the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology (NTNU ).
Trondheim Academy of Fine Art has always been known
for its open-minded and experimental attitude. It
was the first academy in the Nordic countries to offer
education in media art. The school early established
an interdisciplinary structure and pedagogical methods,
crossing traditional and technical borders.
