Our Art and Design College Nashville Campus
Creative careers are thriving in Music City! Located a few minutes from downtown Nashville, Nossi places you in the middle of one of the top cities in the nation.
Nossi's PACE - Professional Accelerated Career Experience
Music. Fashion. Sports. Events. Theater. Non-Profits. Connect with important Nashville industries to produce a professional portfolio by graduation through project-based work within the Nashville Professional Creative Community! It's the best way to get hands-on experience with a creative college in Nashville.
🎨 How do you build the confidence to present your creative work to anyone?
You start in a room with classmates who understand exactly what you`re going through. Watch our students engage in thoughtful critique sessions where every voice matters and every perspective adds value. These small cohort discussions create a safe space to share ideas, receive constructive feedback, and learn how to articulate your creative vision.
This intimate setting develops the communication skills that define creative leaders. You practice defending your design choices, incorporating feedback gracefully, and offering insights that help your peers grow. By the time you`re presenting to clients or creative directors, you`ve already built the confidence that comes from knowing your work can stand up to thoughtful examination.
Do you know Nōssi? Nōssi is Nashville`s Career Launchpad for Creative Leaders.

ART WE 🫶: ‘Venice and the Ottoman Empire’ on view at 📍 @fristartmuseum through 9/1
“Venice and the Ottoman Empire invites us on a journey to the Mediterranean Sea between 1400 and 1800. During this period, Venice—an astonishing city built on hundreds of small islands off the coast of northeast Italy—stood at the crossroads of a vast trade network connecting Africa, Asia, and Europe. The works of art are organized thematically; together and individually the objects tell fascinating stories. They include armor, glassware, metalwork, paintings, pottery, printed books, sculptures, and silk textiles. “ ©️ @fristartmuseum
