On the occasion of Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day, the National College of Arts proudly organised a special exhibition to celebrate both Independence Day and Ma’arqa-e-Haq. This event served as a heartfelt tribute to the countless heroes whose relentless struggle, unshakable courage, and immense sacrifices transformed the dream of a free homeland into a living reality. Showcasing thought provoking artworks, rare historical archives, and creative expressions of patriotism, the exhibition reflected the spirit of unity and resilience that defines our nation.
The exhibition was formally inaugurated by Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Murtaza Jafri, who, in his remarks, highlighted the role of art in preserving history, fostering national identity, and inspiring future generations to uphold the values of freedom and justice.
Situated in the oldest and most historic block of the College, Gallery NCA consists of two large rooms with their original skylights and plaster friezes bordering the walls. Established in 1993 the gallery aims to build up its own Permanent Collection of works by Pakistani painters, sculptors, designers and printmakers, besides hosting visiting exhibitions of the most representative work of artists, designers and architects from home and abroad.
One of the purposes of establishing Gallery NCA within the premises of the College is to make readily available to students the best examples of Pakistani art in order to inculcate in them the discipline of critical evaluation. This is also meant to enhance their experience of viewing images and to develop in them the habit of regularly visiting and viewing art displays.
