The National Academy of Arts of Ukraine (1996–present) (Ukrainian: Національна академія мистецтв України, НАМ України, romanized: Natsionalna akademiia mystetstv Ukrainy, NAM Ukrainy), or NAA, is a research-backed national art academy, and one of six state-funded institutions (along with the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) that was founded in 1996, and granted national status in 2010. NAA members are elected based on distinguished contributions to the arts in: visual arts, musical art, theatre arts, cinematic arts, theory and history of the arts, synthesis of plastic arts in either the Modern Arts Research Institute or the Institute for Cultural Research. Collectively, these fields of study support NAA's multi-pronged academic and cultural mission to "honor national artistic traditions and history, [and] to appreciate and popularize the achievements of Ukrainian culture within the country and worldwide."
In 1923, NAA became a member of the EU's European Alliance of Academies after the Alliance officially condemned the Russian invasion, and expressed unanimous support for NAA membership.
