Overview
The National College of Arts – Federally Chartered Institute, is the oldest art school in Pakistan and the second oldest in South Asia. As of 2016,[update] The college is ranked as Pakistan's top art school.[3][4] It consists of over 700 students.[5] The college runs faculty and student exchange programs with the School of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the Instituto Superior de Arte.[6] It also hosts the UNESCO Chair in architecture.[7]
History
The institute was originally founded in 1876 as the Mayo School of Industrial Arts and was one of the two art colleges created by the British crown in British India in reaction to the Arts & Crafts Movement. It was named in honor of the recently assassinated British Viceroy Lord Mayo in 1876. John Lockwood Kipling became the school's first principal and was also appointed as the first curator of the Lahore Museum which opened the same year in an adjacent building. In 1958, the school was renamed the National College of Arts and Mian Barkat Ali was appointed as principal.[8] Designated the premier art institution in the country, it was transferred to the Ministry of Education from the Ministry Industries in the 1960s. It received degree-awarding status in 1985 and created its first graduate programs in 1999. In 2011, the college received its own charter and became a degree awarding institute (DAI).[9]
