About National Academy of Arts of Ukraine

The National Academy of Arts of Ukraine (1996–present), or NAA, is a research-backed national art academy, and one of six state-funded institutions that was founded in 1996, and granted national status in 2010. NAA members are elected based on distinguished contributions to the arts in: visual arts, musical art, theatre arts, cinematic arts, theory and history of the arts, synthesis of plastic arts in either the Modern Arts Research Institute or the Institute for Cultural Research. Collectively, these fields of study support NAA's multi-pronged academic and cultural mission to "honor national artistic traditions and history, [and] to appreciate and popularize the achievements of Ukrainian culture within the country and worldwide."
