The units under the College had been functioning separately for decades. Their independent contributions to the advancement of arts in Ethiopia have been enormous. However, it was studied and decided that the units should be placed together under an umbrella of a College which can strengthen the already existing activities and integrate them. The amalgamation of the units under one college is greatly believed to integrate artistic activities in the University. Since its establishment, the College has done extraordinary artistic activities which equate the basis of its inception. Staff and students of The School of Theatre Arts and Yared School of Music, for instance, have collaborated to the presentation of more than three musical drama productions in the last two years. There are also a number of artistic ventures going on. The College has also extended its collaboration with national and international institutions which are extremely promising in the area of research, artistic production and other collaborations.
