When: Thursday, November 21st, 2013
The
Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC) turns 15 in the fall
of 2013.
This secular, non-profit, volunteer-driven arts
organization has achieved scores of noteworthy
milestones in the decade and a half of its existence.
IAAC is the first and only Indian Arts Council in the
United States representing all of the artistic
disciplines, including theatre, dance, music, film, folk
arts and literature.
The IAAC pioneered the first annual Indian
theatre, film, dance and playwright festivals in the
country, as well as an annual traveling exhibition of
contemporary Indian art.
The IAAC’s programs attract packed audiences and amazing
media coverage – ethnic, mainstream and international
outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal,
BBC, Variety, New York Daily News, NY1, CNN IBN, and
Huffington Post,
just to name a few.
