Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta

It was founded in 1984 with the merger of the Indonesian College of Fine Arts, the Indonesian Academy of Music, and the Indonesian Dance Academy.

The fine arts program of the ISI Yogyakarta has its roots in the Indonesian Academy of Fine Arts (Akademi Seni Rupa Indonesia; ASRI) which was established by governmental decree on December 15, 1949 and inaugurated on January 15, 1950. This fine arts school was re-named the Indonesian College of Fine Arts (Sekolah Tinggi Seni Rupa Indonesia; known as STSRI); although its former name was still often used by the public. The music program of the ISI Yogyakarta has its beginnings in the Indonesian Music School (Sekolah Musik Indonesia; known as SMI) which was established in 1952. The SMI became the Indonesian Academy of Music (Akademi Musik Indonesia; known as AMI) in 1961. The origins of the dance program at the ISI Yogyakarta began with the Indonesian Dance Conservatory (Konservatori Tari Indonesia; KONRI) which was founded in 1961. This organization became the Indonesian Dance Academy (Akademi Seni Tari Indonesia; known as ASTI) in 1963. The ISI Yogyakarta was founded on 23 July 1984 with the merger of the STSRI, the AMI, and the ASTI.
