Selçuk University, Faculty of Fine Arts has intensified its academic, scientific/artistic and social activities within the university since the date it was established and also constantly improved its relation with the city of Konya, to which it owes its existence, and had always shown a great effort to integrate with its environment. To achieve this aim, Selçuk University Faculty of Fine Arts has carried out numerous national and international activities. In October 2011the Faculty has organized IFAS, in which it brought academics and artists, traditional masters and students, researchers and thinkers, and all visual, theoretical and practical sciences from traditional Turkish arts, ceramic, Interior Design and Environment Design, painting, sculpture, graphics, design of industrial products, photography from national and international areas together; started a discussion of the concepts of modernity and tradition, and made IFAS a symposium which establishes a bridge for the international sharing of academic, scientific and artistic experiences and contributed to produce quality fine arts for the future. Now, as Faculty of Fine Arts and Faculty of Art and Design are planning to conduct a symposium in 2015 to provide the continuation of IFAS, which is a symposium that contributes to art and design education, gives the opportunity to share and interact in terms of social responsibility, tradition and modernity unites and new approaches can be produced with new models and definitions.
