In 1948, a group of art enthusiasts gathered and formed themselves into a society under the name of Karachi Fine Arts Society. It was first of its kind to promote and encourage arts and culture in Pakistan. It held exhibitions and promoted activities relating to theatre.The funds of the society were contributed personally by the members themselves. They had no permanent building of their own. Their meetings were therefore held at the residences of the office bearers. Art exhibitions were held in rented space in private houses. Six years later in 1954, the Karachi Fine Arts Society was reorganized into a body called the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi. This organization was registered with the registrar of societies, Karachi, under Act XX1 of 1860. (The Registration Certificate was issued on 10 May 1955). After its formation, the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi stepped up activities in the field of arts and culture. It also has sponsored production of plays and musical programs - for example, it recently held a Musical Tribute Event in 2017 in honor of the late Bade Fateh Ali Khan (Pakistans famous classical music singer) in its auditorium.The Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi is arguably the largest council made for the purpose of promoting arts and culture in Pakistan, and perhaps the busiest in terms of organizing events on a yearly basis. Given the kind of sociopolitical turn that the country has taken with reference to religious extremism, it makes the council all the more significant an institution to uphold and foster the traditions of the arts that aim to give society a balanced approach to life. It is the countrys oldest and most famous NGO (non-government organization) that deals in promotion and development of arts and crafts in Pakistan.Karachi Arts Council has four academies of its own that help in fostering raw talent and developing them into real performers. These include:Theatre AcademyIt helps in teaching script-writing, directing, acting, cinematography, editing, and production management.Music AcademyIt helps in the teaching of violin playing, flute playing, dholak playing, vocals training, guitar playing and other classical instruments.Fine Arts AcademyIt helps in teaching and developing literature, floral art, architecture, interior designing, and sculpture.FacilitiesFollowing are some facilities offered by the Arts Council of Pakistan for hosting events:AuditoriumOpen Air Theatre Permanent Art GalleryLibrary / Reading RoomAudio / Visual LibraryCultural Café

Arts Council in Karachi is one of the few places where activities related to arts and crafts not only honed but displayed to the mass audience. The usual offering of program varied a great deal. Stage Drama, Urdu Festivals, Poetry Sessions and book fairs are named after few. The overall environment is good and one would like if interested in socializing.

Countrys oldest council fighting for the promotion n development of arts n culture in homeland. Beside honouring our arts giants n legends also training, polishing n promoting raw/new talent as well. Also involved in welfare work for the betterment of artists specially for those who have forgotten by the industry n people. Elected office holders are continuously giving their best of abilities but there is room for improvement.
