Although in the early 1990s the country was going through a period of radical socio-economic and political transformation, the leadership of the Tyumen region supported the initiative of the administration of the Tyumen branch of the Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture to establish in Tyumen a higher educational institution for training personnel in the field of culture and art and provided the necessary support in its development.

The Tyumen State Institute of Arts and Culture (TGIIK) was formed by order of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR on January 18, 1991 on the basis of the Tyumen branch of the Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture and Art. M.A. Kapeko became the institute's first rector, a post he held for fifteen years.

As a higher educational institution, the Tyumen State Institute of Arts and Culture was formed on the basis of the principles of functioning and development of higher education with mandatory requirements for educational, methodological, educational and research work.

A great contribution to the formation and development of the department was made by the candidate of pedagogical sciences, associate professor N.I.

At the time of certification, 1140 students were studying at the university in ten specialties. The teaching staff consisted of 84 people, 24 of which had academic titles and degrees, three had the title of Honored Workers of Culture.
