It is a privilege to serve as Dean of the School of Fine Arts at Khulna University and to be part of a School that is still young yet full of promise. Located in the culture-rich south-west of Bangladesh, we stand at a unique crossroads where heritage, rivers and landscapes, folk traditions, and contemporary creativity meet. Our aim is to nurture artists, designers, and thinkers who can honour local roots while speaking confidently to the wider world.At the School of Fine Arts, we believe that art is not only a discipline but also a way of seeing, questioning, and shaping society. We are committed to a learning environment that values rigorous practice, critical inquiry, and experimentation across media. Through strong studio culture, research, exhibitions, community engagement, and collaborations with national and international partners, we aspire to build a vibrant platform for creative excellence.As we grow, our priority will be to strengthen academic quality, expand opportunities for students and faculty, and deepen our connection with the communities we serve, while positioning the School as a global institute.I warmly invite students, alumni, researchers, cultural practitioners, and friends of the arts to join us in this journey. Let us create, reflect, and contribute together.Dean (In Charge), School of Fine ArtsKhulna University
