Who We Are

Hunerkada

HUNERKADA College of Visual and Performing Arts is brainchild of the renowned artist and actor Mr. Jamal Shah who founded it under umbrella of Arts Association of Pakistan at Islamabad in 1992. It was one of the pioneer arts and design institutions in private sector of Pakistan at that time and was a result of never-ending love and ambition of Jamal Shah with the promotion of this neglected field. The institution was an immediate success which motivated him to open its second campus in Lahore in 1997.
