Exciting New Cohort and Alumni-led Teaching Initiative
In the coming year, we are excited to announce the launch of our new cohort, with registrations
now open. As we continue to grow and evolve, we are proud to share that our alumni will be taking
on the role of teachers, bringing their expertise and experience back to the VM Centre for
Traditional Arts. This is a significant step in fostering a strong, self-sustaining community where
knowledge and skills are passed on by those who have been part of our journey. We look forward to
welcoming new students and expanding our programs, ensuring that the rich traditions of
Pakistani art continue to thrive for generations to come.
