Arts Council goes digital under Covid19

With the onset of COVID19, Arts Council has taken the initiative since March 2020 to make premium artistic content available digitally to its loyal members, supporters and art enthusiasts. Efforts on every artistic front is underway to make music, poetry, storytelling, theater and dance performances available to the youth and public so that this challenging time under quarantine and lockdown can be eased for everyone. Apart from making performances, poetry, lectures and talks available online, Arts Council is working to begin a digital Music talent hunt competition and plan its execution digitally in order to revive original Pakistani musical compositions.

There is a dire need to support the artists, youth and elderly all over the globe post this devastating pandemic. Thus the Council is striving to keep the performing arts alive with its digital resources and limited staff members who are all committed to the organization’s goals fostering artistic camaraderie and dedicated to serve digital content to keep music, dance, theater and fine arts alive in Pakistan as well as across our borders.

The hope is that millions of starved art, music, theater, dance and poetry lovers will join our digital community to make this hope a reality as we move forward with Arts Council’s myriad digital and artistic campaigns.

The Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi is the most happening institution in the field of arts and arts education in the country and we have utilized this interim lull period to make several new developments in infrastructure and educational curriculum. We have designed the way forward and that way is definitely digital.

Since Karachi has rapidly adapted to the changing work environment post the global pandemic of COVD19. Whilst in-person gatherings have ceased due to intensive social distancing, our organization has continued to grow digital initiatives and we are proud to announce four major new programs under our Digital Production House. These initiatives include, but are not limited to:

ACP Poetry: Celebrating Poets of Yore
