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.
Nashville`s creative scene doesn`t just happen—it`s built by community members who know how to turn vision into reality. Our students proved that at the Arts Crawl we participated in in the Spring.
While displaying their work to the artistic community, they weren`t just sharing art—they were demonstrating leadership. Defending concepts. Articulating vision. Securing opportunities. Thankful to our community partners who help raise our students up to their highest potential @fiftyforward @mracc37115
This is the Nōssi difference: comprehensive career development that goes beyond basic training. Our AI-integrated curriculum prepares you for tomorrow`s creative economy while our industry partnerships connect you to today`s opportunities.

How many creative directors do you have on speed dial? 🖥️ 🖊️ 📷 🎥 🍴
See our students connecting directly with Nashville`s creative industry leaders—design firm owners, art directors, and creative professionals who are actively shaping the city`s visual landscape. This isn`t a formal presentation or career fair handshake. These are genuine conversations about creative challenges, industry trends, and what it really takes to build a successful creative career in Nashville.
These authentic relationships develop the network-building skills that creative leaders rely on throughout their careers. You learn to engage professionally with industry veterans, ask insightful questions that demonstrate your commitment to the field, and build connections that often lead to internships, mentorships, and job opportunities. When you graduate, you`re not starting from zero—you already have advocates in the Nashville creative community.

When was the last time a professor knew your name and your creative goals?
This isn`t your typical office hours—it`s personalized guidance where your professor understands your unique strengths, identifies areas for growth, and helps you develop your distinct creative voice.
This individualized attention develops the self-awareness that creative leaders need to succeed. You learn to articulate your vision clearly, receive targeted feedback that accelerates your growth, and build the professional relationships that become your creative network. When you have a mentor who believes in your potential and challenges you to reach it, you develop the confidence to lead creative projects and inspire others.

🎨 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.
