Nossi College Of Art

Nossi College of Art began a fine art school in 1973 and transformed from two students learning art in a kitchen to a nationally accredited collegiate institution. Nossi Vatandoost, an artist listed in Who’s Who of American Women as well as Who’s Who in America, trained in the Middle East and Europe and taught art in the Nashville Metropolitan school system before opening the college.

The first class of fine art included painting, airbrush and photography courses in Madison, TN. Over the next 18 years, Nossi added several new programs, hired creative professionals as teachers and received accreditation from ACCSC. In 1991, Nossi College of Art was born. The college received accreditation first in graphic design followed by photography, illustration and video. “We are always focused on re-investing in our students,” Nossi said. The college achieves this by incorporating strong curriculums for each program.

On August 21, 2003, the Nashville community came together to celebrate Nossi’s 30th anniversary.
