The Skunder Boghossian College of Performing and Visual Arts is the umbrella organization for Ethiopia's oldest secular schools for the arts,[1] offering Bachelors and Masters programs in art, theater, and music.[2][3][4]
Part of Addis Ababa University, the college was created in 2010 to join three separate schools—the Alle School for Fine Arts and Design, the Yoftahe Nigussie School of Theatrical Arts, and the Yared School of Music—with the Gebre Kristos Desta Center and Modern Art Museum.[5][6][4]
The college is named after Ethiopia's most well-known contemporary artist Skunder Boghossian, who taught in AAU's School of Fine Arts and Design. Its first head was Berhanu Ashagrie Deribew.[7]
