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.
Picture this: You`re a senior at Nōssi, presenting your capstone project to a room full of Nashville`s creative directors, marketing managers, and business owners.
This isn`t just a final presentation – it`s your career launch moment.
Each semester, industry leaders mark their calendars for our Senior Exhibition because they know our graduates come ready to lead, not just follow. Small cohorts mean personalized mentorship. Real client work through our PACE program means portfolio-ready projects. Faculty who are working professionals mean current industry practices.
While students at larger schools get lost in the crowd, you`ll graduate with professors who know your name, your strengths, and exactly which Nashville companies need your unique creative leadership.
Your creative career starts with the right connections. Visit our website to apply now.

Last month students in our Culinary Arts program got the opportunity to travel to Italy 🇮🇹 to visit Farmer Chef @casale_polegri
🍝 The eight day trip included copious amounts of cooking classes with Chef Lorenzo, workshops with chocolate, visiting a buffalo farm for mozzarella, truffle hunting, wine tastings, butcher shops, walking tours through olive oil trees and many group meals.
🫒Thank you Chef Lorenzo for having us! @casale_polegri

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

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.
Do you know Nōssi? Nōssi is Nashville`s Career Launchpad for Creative Leaders.
