Founded in 1919 (the same year as the University of Latvia), the Art Academy of Latvia is the country's sole state higher-education institution for fine arts and design. Approximately 900 students. Highly selective via portfolio. Located in a distinctive 1905 neo-Gothic red-brick building in Riga. Central to Latvian visual art across the 20th-21st centuries. ⚠️ Added by curator (collector omission).

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an endorsement.

Why this is free

AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to help people find their way to education — and the wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
