Since its founding, the Faculty has continuously supported artistic education and has actively contributed to cultural and artistic life in Košice and Eastern Slovakia. The fulfilment of its ambitions at the national and partly international level confirms the Faculty’s stable position within art education. The Faculty has set itself the goal of becoming one of the leaders in the development of the creative industries in the Eastern Slovak region in response to new societal challenges. The unique connection between art‑oriented education and the environment of the Technical University of Košice creates a natural platform for dialogue between art, science, and technology.
