On August 21, 2004 it was granted the status of a national higher educational institution by the Decree of the President of Ukraine for "significant contribution to the development of national education and science, national and international activities".

Until 2020, the Lviv National Academy of Arts was subordinated to the Ministry of Education of Ukraine. In 2020, the Ministry of Education and Science transferred the institution to the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine.

Origins and Foundation

Sculptor Vasyl Krychevsky came to Lviv to become the rector of the Lviv Academy of Arts in 1944, one of the institutions which preceded the current school which opened 2 years later in 1946.

The idea of an Art Academy in Lviv began over 100 years ago. The institution is considered a legal successor of the traditions of art education initiated in Lviv, which began when the city was the capital of the province of Galicia and Lodomeria under the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the mid 19th century. It has its origin in the school of design and drawing attached to the Museum of Artistic Craft (1876), Free Academy of Art (1905), O. Novakivskyi's Art School (1923), and the Academy of Arts (which Vasyl Krychevskyi was a rector of in 1944). Prominent artists as Ivan Trush, O. Kulchytska, Osyp Kurylas, A. Manastyrskyi, H. Smolskyi, S. Hordynskyi, and many others studied and then taught at these art institutions. [3]

The foundation of the higher artistic educational institution in Lviv in 1946 was caused by an acute need of highly qualified specialists of fine art, applied and decorative art in Lviv. Hence at first the chairs of art textile, art ceramics, woodware, sculpture, and painting played the leading role. They were closely connected with the local traditions, folk art creation, and at the same time they traditionally kept on accumulating the achievements of European art education and art. During the next ten years, the Lviv Academy essentially extended its educational propositions, it was enriched with a lot of new forms and trends of artists training admittedly meets the European standards. A large competition among entrants that come from different regions of Ukraine as well as from many foreign countries is a convincing confirmation of its high level. Among the educational innovations introduced by the Lviv Academy, there are numerous specializations that correspond to the modern requirements of entrants. The matter concerns the exclusive trends of graphic design, artistic means of advertisement, monumental painting, art metal, interior design, furniture design, and new kinds of ceramics, art glass, art textile, and other media.
