The
Arts
Council
of
Pakistan
Karachi
is
a
council
for
the
promotion
of
arts
and
culture
in
Pakistan,
and
one
of
the
busiest
in
terms
of
organizing
events.
It
is
the
country's
oldest
NGO
(non-government
organization)
for
the
promotion
and
development
of
arts
and
crafts
in
Pakistan.
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
(Pakistan's
famous
classical
music
singer)
in
its
auditorium.
