The university has a rich history. It was opened in accordance with the Resolution of the RSFSR Cabinet Council № 529 dated October 19, 1977 in the system of the RSFSR Ministry of Culture and began work in 1978. Initially, the structure of the university included three faculties: Musical Faculty, Theatrical Faculty and Visual Arts Faculty. Later, in 1987, Visual Arts Faculty was established as an independent educational institution – Krasnoyarsk State Art Institute. In 2000, the university was given the status of an academy – Krasnoyarsk State Academy of Music and Theatre. In 2015, it was decided to return to a more historic name: Krasnoyarsk State Institute of Arts.
