The University of North Carolina School of the Arts is the first state-supported, residential school of its kind in the nation. Established as the North Carolina School of the Arts by the N.C. General Assembly in 1963, UNCSA opened in Winston-Salem ("The City of the Arts") in 1965 and became part of the University of North Carolina system in 1972. More than 1,100 students from middle school through Graduate School train for careers in the Arts in five professional Schools: Dance, Design and Production (including a Visual Arts Program), Drama, Filmmaking and Music. UNCSA is the state’s only public arts conservatory, dedicated entirely to the professional training of talented students in the Performing, Visual and Moving Image Arts.
UNCSA is located at 1533 S. Main St., Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
With a low Faculty ratio and a collaborative environment, the Faculty is encouraged to continue professional activities and relationships while employed at the School. The School’s Resident Faculty is made up of Artists who have distinguished careers in the profession and are supported by more than 150 Guest Artists throughout the year. The School collaborates with educational, cultural, civic, business and other organizations, to promote the importance of the Arts in our society.
