MISSION STATEMENT/FOUNDING PHILOSOPHYThe mission statements and ethos of the IAC are drawn from the following realities.

Culture is a set of beliefs and practices that animates, sustains and binds a people, thereby defining identity. Although the past is our bedrock, it must continuously evolve.

The human mind is a conscious set of cognitive faculties that process, reason and perceive in a holistic framework. The integrative process of thinking, wanting and feeling leads to the creation of objects of beauty which might or might not be of any formal use. This experiential awareness is the basis of all artistic creations.

Art provides multiplicity of views that enhance self-reflection, communication and visual literacy. This increased sense of empathy, in turn, develops a tolerance towards the 'other', the 'different' and the 'outsider'.

Culture impacts the individuals and decision-making processes in a society. It has the potential to bridge our worlds, connect and inspire communities, provide skills for development and essentially advocate change.

Page 13: IAC Deliberation Togetherness 2018 › assets › prospectus.pdfWelcome to the pioneering batch of IAC! Institute for Art and Culture brings a new dynamic educational system to Pakistan

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This liberal arts education Platform will not only impact the education sector in Pakistan but also reach out to the neighboring countries and contribute towards global scholarship. IAC highly values the traditional knowledge of our people and seeks to contemporize it with input from the latest technological knowledge. IAC believes in integration with community, building long term industrial linkages and National and International partnerships. By incorporating a tri-lingual approach, which includes English, Urdu and Punjabi, the students recognize culture and art education not as a foreign stimulus but the one they are inherently connected with.
