Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, in his message on International Artist Day, paid rich tribute to artists, describing them as “the voice of society’s hidden emotions.”
The chief minister said that artists play a vital role in portraying social realities and expressing the collective feelings of a nation through their creative expression. “Without artists, the concepts of history and culture would be incomplete,” he remarked.
Shah reiterated that the Sindh government is committed to the welfare and support of artists. “The Sindh Culture department always stands by artists and continues to facilitate them through various initiatives,” he said.
Highlighting the provincial government’s efforts to promote art and culture, the chief minister noted that the Aror University of Art, Architecture, Design, and Heritage was established to provide a platform for young artists and preserve the rich cultural legacy of Sindh.
Murad Shah further announced that, with the support of the Sindh government, the Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi will host the World Cultural Festival, which will bring together artists from 141 countries.
“This will be the world’s largest celebration of artists – a true global festival that celebrates creativity, culture, and the shared human spirit,” the chief minister concluded.
