Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (ENBA, or National School of Fine Arts) is a national fine arts institution located in Managua, Nicaragua. It was founded in 1938 as an apprentice-base learning workshop. Curricula established to meet educational standards set by the government were implemented in 1979. In 1997, the legislature created the Pablo Antonio Cuadra Nicaraguan Center for Artistic Education (Spanish: Centro Nicaragüense de Enseñanza Artística "Pablo Antonio Cuadra", (CENEAPAC)) to direct artistic education and development of Nicaraguan arts and established separate national schools for circus arts, dance, music, theater and visual arts.
