The Institut Seni Indonesia Denpasar is a government art institute under direction of the Directorate General of Higher Education on behalf of Ministry of Education and Culture. It was established based on the Presidential Decree No.33/2003 of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, May 26, 2003. It constituted the Sekolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia (STSI) Denpasar/an Indonesian college of arts to be integrated with The Program Studi Seni Rupa dan Desain (PSSRD) Universitas Udayana / a fine art and design program of Udayana University.

Originally, the ISI Denpasar was established as an Indonesian dance academy which was widely renowned as Akademi Seni Tari Indonesia (ASTI) Denpasar.

It was founded based on the Governor’s Decree No. 2/Pem/5/I/a/1967 of the Government of Bali, January 28, 1967 on the initiative of the Advisory Council and Cultural Development (known as Listibya) in accord with prevention, conservation, exploration, reconstruction, supervision, fostering and development of Balinese culture.

The interaction between culture and technology is increasingly developed; on the contrary, many artists passed away which affected particular Balinese art forms caught into extinction. Therefore, it needs to organize an art education for the young generations as the inheritors and saviors of the national cultures.

The ASTI Denpasar then received its status as a state-managed institution after two years term from the Department of Education and Culture with the Decree No. 066/1969 dated 7 August 1969. ASTI Denpasar was declared a department of ASTI Yogyakarta of which management was handled by Directorate General of Culture and due to changes occurred within the organization of Department of Education and Culture.

Since 1976 the management of ASTI Denpasar was administered by Directorate General of Higher Education, Department of Education and Culture as well as the supervision was directed to the formation of the Indonesian Institute of Arts (ISI) together with other art academies throughout Indonesia.

By the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No.0445/0/1998 the status of ASTI Denpasar was then upgraded into the Sekolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia (STSI) Denpasar/an Indonesian college of arts. Establishment of the STSI Denpasar was reinforced by President Decree No.22/1992. Finally, it was then completely integrated with PSSRD Udayana into ISI Denpasar on July 28, 2003.

The ceremonial inauguration and the establishment of ISI Denpasar were marked with inscriptional sign, wherein the Minister of National Education Prof. Drs. Malik Fadjar, MSc was directly acted as the signatory. Since the establishment of ASTI / STSI Denpasar and PSSRD Udayana University until upgraded to ISI, the Institute has been experienced several periods of leaderships.

Our integration into ISI is the most memorable milestone.

Since 1967 when ISI was ASTI Denpasar, it has been experienced several periods of leadership successions till for period of 2017. However, through such experiences ISI is now a lot stronger and flourished as the world of education is as well changing rapidly. In the future ISI is believed to be able to play significant roles on the developments of science, technology, and art matters.

We serve you to the real world  of arts…!!!

Since the establishment of ISI Denpasar in 2003, we have experienced a wide range of dynamic moments in the implementation of the institute functions in order to develop skill and character as well as dignified civilization in the context of the intellectual life of the nation, besides, developing students’ potentials to become a sublime people with noble character, healthy, knowledgeable, skilled, creative, independent, and become a democratic citizens in a high responsibility. In the era of globalization, art institute are faced with the opportunities and challenges that continue to change rapidly likewise the decline of the nation’s character. Art is believed to be capable as a prime impetus in establishing the character of the nation. Through education we need to build a “virtual foundation” resulting in Indonesian people who has identity and be proud as a citizen of Indonesia. The virtual foundation is a foundation that is not visible or invisible, firmly imprinted on every citizen of Indonesia, such as ideology, philosophy, and the noble values of nation’s culture in conception unity in diversity. Education of arts can be used for the development of the cultural education and nation’s character. Art is the expression of the human soul (person / group), which successfully manifested into art forms such as performing arts, visual arts and design, literary, and recording  media. The Art form can be achieved after a search process from varied ideas to the further process till the result can be met. Art has the beauty of form and content. The beauty of form is a form of art itself, while the beauty of the content is noble values contained therein. Education has the responsibility of leading the effort to produce a civil society which is characterized by democracy, autonomy and awareness of culturally diverse in one nation.

Indonesian society has a very high diversity of cultural value, not only as an expression of aesthetic value but as a statement of life with a philosophical significant, so that it blends in life. When the form of artistic expression changed, then this change can be interpreted as a change in the attitude of life in society. Therefore, thus ISI is determined to be a source of renewing inspiration at the same time as the spirit of unifying force of the nation. In response to the level of the nation’s cultural diversity, we are as a driving force of creation and research, we requires to widen access unevenly through education, research, and community services of which that those are part of our social responsibility. In addition, the demands of the society is increasingly developed, Therefore, we are obliged to produce high quality graduates who are able to be independent in the world community association, to play an active role in controlling changes in art and culture, to produce work that is able to boost the nation’s excellence, as well as giving impact on economic growth in supporting the national development. We have a great opportunity to play an active role in regional development based on our strategic excellence. We required collateral management arrangements towards independence in determining policies that include education, research, and community service in order to portray an optimal strategic excellence. New arrangement which is based on the principle of self-reliance is as the tools in facilitating the implementation of roles and fulfillment of expectations.

This independence is also necessary to realize our effective institution, qualified and efficiency in the transparent and accountable management. As one of the arts institute of which is located in eastern part of Indonesia, we should be able to be in the forefront of the arts education development quality. Therefore, in order to increase the participation of cultural artistic excellence, we need to develop programs and activities to be oriented toward internationally recognized institute of art by always fostering the prosperity, security and welfare of Indonesian society in particular and humanity in general.
