Famul Stuart School of Applied Arts was initiated by sculptors Rene Rusjan and Boštjan Potokar in 1994 and focuses on practical creative skills. The school offers a variety of complex study programmes in three directions: Ceramics, Sculpture and Restoration, Ambient, and Digital Arts and Practices (including animation, video and film, photography, and new media). The three-year courses are flexible and adjusted to the needs on the market. Although its diploma has not yet been recognized by the state the Famul Stuart School of Applied Arts successfully facilitates the transition from studies to professional engagement in the arts and creative industries. In 2009 Famul introduced a new, interdisciplinary oriented School of Arts at the University of Nova Gorica.
Students at Famul Stuart School of Applied Arts present their work at annual exhibitions and screenings in Kinodvor Cinema. The School also organises Summer and Winter workshops focusing on a range of areas, including ceramics, sculpture, carving, mosaic, drawing, photography, printing, video, animation and web design.
Since 2004 the School co-organises the main 5-day production courses in classical and stop-motion animation within the Animateka International Animated Film Festival.
