Event


Explanation:
งาน can either mean work or event, and event seems the most likely here—as in "Fine Arts Department publicity event"

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Dylan J Hartmann: While I agree with your def. of "งาน", as this is from the 'credits' to a video, it's stating that it is a published work, or publication, of the Fine Arts Dept.

disagree  Theresa Somsri: The term "งานประชาสัมพันธ์" is more often used for "publicity event" and the term appears in video credits, so the translation of "งาน" as "event" does not seem suitable.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Theresa Somsri: "Production" is most suitable for the context, which (as stated) translates as "This video is a published work of the Fine Arts Department". "งานเผยแพร่" is rarely used to describe an actual event, as "งานประชาสัมพันธ์" is usually preferred.
