History

The institute’s roots go back to 1954, when a painting faculty opened at the Tashkent Institute of Theatre and Fine Arts. Renowned artists R. Ahmedov and O. Tatevosyan played a key role in establishing higher art education. In 1997, on the basis of a Presidential Decree and a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Kamoliddin Behzod National Institute of Painting and Design was established on the basis of the Faculty of Painting of the Mannon Uyghur Tashkent State Institute of Arts. Since then, the institute has operated as an independent higher education institution.

The institute has four faculties: Fine Arts, Applied Arts, Art Studies and Design. At the bachelor’s level, students can study applied arts, design, graphics, sculpture, painting, art studies, museum studies and management in full-time and part-time formats.
