Today being Giving Tuesday, I’ve been reflecting on the incredible role the arts play in our lives. In moments of celebration or challenge, the arts give us beauty, healing, connection, and belonging. They remind us of who we are — and who we can become.
At the Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC), we feel deeply grateful to be a home for diverse artistic voices and stories from across the global Indian community. Creating spaces where artists can inspire, comfort, challenge, and ignite imagination is a privilege — one made possible because of supporters like you.
This past year, your belief in IAAC helped bring remarkable programming to New York, including:
Powerful films and filmmakers like Aranya Sahay and Raam Reddy, along with conversations with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Anurag Kashyap, Smriti Mundhra, and others.
A moving musical tribute to Zakir Hussain with Rakesh Chaurasia and Parupalli Phalgun — blending Hindustani and Carnatic traditions.
Stunning dance performances led by Priyadarsini Govind and Rama Vaidyanathan, celebrating classical artistry and new expression.
Literary conversations with visionary thinkers including Megha Majumdar, Devdutt Pattanaik, Amish Tripathi, and Sadhguru — exploring culture, identity, and meaning.
Every one of these moments exists because of a community that values culture, creativity, and representation.
As we look toward another year of storytelling and artistic excellence, we invite you to join us again.
Your support allows IAAC to:
✨ Present film festivals showcasing emerging voices
✨ Host dance and music performances that honor our heritage
✨ Produce talks and readings that spark cultural dialogue
✨ Provide artist grants, outreach, and accessibility initiatives
No gift is too small — every contribution creates space for artists and strengthens our cultural community.
