About Us
Overview
The creation of KSA dates back to 4 decades. At the time when the concept of KSA was brought about, there was little know how regarding art in the region. There was lack of awareness amongst the people relating the various opportunities the field promised. Thus, KSA is rendered pioneer at promoting the education of arts and crafts and today enjoys being the proud bearer of many eminent artists who originated and shone during this long period.
The inborn talents of various amateur artists were recognized and appreciated here, which consequently welcomed fame.
