The Liechtenstein School of Art, opened in 1993, is a school for the artistically minded. The school complements and extends the educational offerings of the general education schools in the creative and esthetic fields. The course offerings are directed at children from the age of five, young people, and also – in line with the principle of life-long learning – at adults. The Liechtenstein School of Art aims to provide artistically oriented education commensurate to the wide variety of contemporary art. It aims to awaken and promote the varied expressive talents of young people, in parallel with regular schooling. Freed from performance pressure, young people are able to gradually and playfully discover and develop these talents. The School of Art also aims to encourage autonomy, critical abilities, and self-confidence, but also tolerance, persistence, and the ability to cope with pressure. A special concern of the Liechtenstein School of Art is the promotion of young people desiring to pursue a creative profession. The school offers them the opportunity to prepare themselves for admission to a professional art school or art academy. A further goal is the promotion of adults who either wish to further develop their creative talents for professional reasons or who wish to find a counterbalance to their everyday lives.

The School of Art is located in its own premises in Eschen, endowed with highly modern information technology infrastructure. The school is funded through contributions of the State, municipalities, sponsors, and student tuition.

Students present their works and creations to the general public at exhibitions and events regularly organized by the School of Art.
