We take great pride in cultivating a vibrant and inclusive community of artists, performers, educators, and supporters who are united by our shared dedication to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indonesian culture. In addition to hosting a variety of social events that celebrate our traditions and major holidays, we also come together as a group to give back to the community we call home.
