Dasein Academy of Art

Dasein Academy of Art is a boutique art college in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia run by artists for future artists. All our lecturers are experts in their academic roles and experienced artists in the creative industry. We deliver specifically tailored courses to small groups of dedicated students, and we focus on unearthing each student’s creative best and personal development in preparing them for a multifaceted career. ‘Dasein’(‘da : za-in ), a connotation derived from German philosophy, has timelessly inspired creative thinkers to discover and redefine one’s true being and existence. With that ideal in mind, Dasein Academy of Art was established in 1996 by a team of avid educators and professionals from the creative industry. Aspired to revive the role of creative education from stereotyped qualifications back to the cultivation of individual distinction, an aspired team dedicated to personal enrichment was formed. Driven by this ingenuity, the college believes that creative education is more than just merely a skill or job-market-oriented curriculum. After all, it is through the path of creative thinking and aesthetic learning that one discovers the beauty of one’s existence; and that, is a fulfillment of a lifetime.
