'Valand School of Fine Arts' (), usually called 'Valand', is a Swedish School of Arts.
Valand School of Fine Arts was founded in 1865 as the Gothenburg Drawing School. Situated in central Gothenburg, the school is since 1977 a part of Göteborg University and since 1995 a part of its Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts which includes the Academy of Music & Drama, Theater and Opera, the School of Photography, the School of Film, the School of Design and Crafts and Literary Composition, Poetry & Prose.
Approximately 100 students study at Valand and there are two master programs – a five year program in Fine Art and a two year Art and Technology MFA degree called ''C:Art:media''. The selection process is extremely competitive as only 20 new students are accepted out of a yearly applicant pool of over 500. Although the school does not actively promote itself internationally, it is known within Sweden. The goal of the school is to develop students conceptually and technically - with art history and theoretical knowledge as the basis for developing art practices.
