Vilnius Academy of Art

The Vilnius Academy of Art ( _lt. Vilniaus dailės akademija, previously "State Art Institute of Lithuania") in Vilnius, Lithuania, grants a variety of degrees in the arts.

The academy was created as a separate entity in 1940; it had previously been part of Vilnius University. It was closed during the Nazi occupation of Lithuania, and re-opened in 1944. In 1951 it was organized into the following departments: painting (including frescos, mosaics, and theatrical design), graphics, sculpture, architecture, and ceramics and textiles. The academy began working with UNESCO in 2002. [lt icon cite web|title=Apie VDA|url=http://www.vda.lt/index.php/pageid/578|publisher=Vilniaus dailės akademija|accessdate=2008-04-18]
