Profile of study programmeAPPLIED ART - Vilnius Academy of Arts master's program is run at Telšiai Faculty. This master’s program covers contemporary art jewellery, metal art and sculpture, furniture, design, and fashion. Interdisciplinary art and design studies provide opportunities for educators and practitioners of applied art to develop and establish themselves.
