The VM Centre forTraditional Arts in Karachi ensures traditional arts of this country continues to bloom and flourish both in the present and for future endeavors.

Our courses, by present working artists who are masters of their craft, maintain our traditional arts to the highest standards and keep them alive and essential to today's world. Presently working out of the Rangoonwala Community Centre in Karachi, VMCTA offers courses in traditional Islamic geometry, ceramics, textiles, woodwork, painting, and manuscript illumination. Our courses cater to all levels of skill and experience, while placing an emphasis on making use of, and skills in handling, traditional materials and methods. As a program moves forward, we intend to be training a local team of Pakistani tutors who will be leading such initiatives, hence long-term viability is ensured.

VMCTA's journey is fueled by the desire to showcase a brighter image of Pakistan to the world, welcoming tourism into the very sector that generates employment for the local artists and craftsmen. We create a legacy on enriched cultural heritage by transferring knowledge and skill that last for generations.
