College of the Arts (COTA)

Bio

College of the Arts (COTA) was established in 1971 by German citizens in Namibia, Windhoek. The institution offers three levels of arts education namely general tuition, diploma courses and the national arts extension program (a community outreach program). It has three main campuses and other regional art centers that are all over Namibia. The organization was previously meant for Whites State Conservatory of Music. In mid 1980s, drama and visual arts were added to the conservatory's programs.

In 1990, Namibia gained independence and the institution became the College of the Arts under the supervision and management of the then Ministry of Basic Education. In 2005, COTA was handed over to the Ministry of Youth National Service, Sport and Culture.
