Leith School of Art (LSA) is an independent art college in Edinburgh, Scotland, providing tertiary education in art and design. LSA is located in the Leith area of Edinburgh, in the former converted Norwegian Seamen's Church, originally built by a Danish architect in 1864. [ [http://www.scotland.org/about/history-tradition-and-roots/features/business/norwegian.html Links between Scotland and Norway - Scottish History, Culture and Influence feature ] ]

LSA was founded in 1987 with the aim:

" ... to create a school with a vital artistic life emphasising both tradition and innovation, to produce work of distinctive quality and character." [ [http://www.leithschoolofart.co.uk Leith School of Art: an Edinburgh Art College ] ]

LSA has been sited in the former Norwegian Seamen's Church in Leith since its conception. Studios are set out on three levels in the main church building, with additional studio and lecture space in the former church hall to the rear of the main building. In 1999 a modern extension was built around three sides of the former church, adding further studio space, a small library and entrance hall.
