The art school in Rogaland opened as a private school in 1978 in the Norwegian city of Stavanger . The school's history goes back to 1957, when the Association of Fine Arts in Rogaland moved into a studio in the Stavanger Art Association . This formed the basis for today's art school .
The school is located at Birkelandsgate 2–4. Originally there were two wooden houses from the 1880s. They were connected by a stair tower in 1928 and were given a common roof and a Rabitz plaster facade . In 2007 the facade was renovated and declared an art project. The artist Michael Lin worked with the art school on the project that was henceforth known as the Flower Tower. The following year Stavanger became European Capital of Culture and the Flower Tower was part of the Stavanger2008 program . Today the tower marks the entrance to the art school.
In 2009 the school was recognized as a technical school by the Nasjonalt organ for kvalitet I utdanning (NOKUT). NOKUT is a government agency subordinate to the Ministry of Education and Research.

Well-known projects
The art school designed the transformer building for the Lyse energi company in the Madla district and thereby also attracted attention in the cultural office. Anders Moss, a freshman at the school, won the design competition. One task was to leave room in the main design for other students' designs. Moss achieved this with the help of integrated televisions, whose screens display the competing designs. He then went to the Kungliga Konsthögskolan in Stockholm .
Talisman Energy Norge invited to a competition in 2009. The award was given for the embellishment of a staircase for a new residential module on the Ymefelt oil platform . Marie Ramstrøm's design won the competition and due to the large number of high-quality works, the company bought additional designs for other rooms.
