History

In the beginning, the Institute of Indonesian Arts and Culture, Bandung, was called Dance Conservatory (Indonesian: Konservatori Tari (KORI)) which was founded in March 1968. However, during this period, the institute was not yet a formal higher education institution. By 1971, an agreement was signed between several government agencies and art education institutes in Bandung, West Java, and Yogyakarta, which led to the Dance Conservatory to function as a branch of the Indonesian Dance Academy of Yogyakarta (Indonesian: Akademi Seni Tari Indonesia (ASTI) Yogyakarta) – which was a precursor to the modern-day Institute of Indonesian Arts and Culture, Yogyakarta – leading to the Dance Conservatory to be renamed Indonesian Dance Academy of Bandung (Indonesian: Akademi Seni Tari Indonesia (ASTI) Bandung).

In 1995, due to a governmental initiative for art higher education development, the Indonesian Dance Academy of Bandung underwent another structural and name change, becoming the Indonesian Art College of Bandung (Sekolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia (STSI) Bandung). Several new programs were added to the school, including karawitan, theater, performing arts, fine arts, beauty and fashion, television and film, as well as angklung study and bamboo music. Finally, in 2014, the art college became the Institute of Indonesian Arts and Culture following a presidential decree by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. [2]
