Karachi – The VM Centre for Traditional Arts

Vision

The VM Centre for Traditional Arts (VMCTA) draws inspiration from Pakistan’s artistic traditions and cultural heritage. The centre looks towards the future by helping to revive essential artistic skills and techniques, and to revitalise the relevance of traditional arts in a contemporary context in Pakistan.

VMCTA was established in June 2017 by a partnership agreement between the VM Trust for Education in Pakistan, the Rangoonwala Foundation, and the Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts in London.

The School’s Outreach Programmes encourage individuals and communities to realise the timeless values of their cultural heritage. The Rangoonwala Foundation’s mission is to enable the empowerment of communities by engaging in social development initiatives.
