A Community Arts Centre is a place where people can fulfill the need to serve others and do it in a way that they feel is the highest level in their profession. Through the establishment of this Community Arts Centre, we hope to expand the horizons of music in the country by creating an awareness of and strengthening the art of Indian music and its presence in Malaysia. We aspire to fill the cultural landscape of our community and to build an artistic space for Malaysian youths, nurturing and supporting them for an extended term of concentrated artistic activity. The centre intends to leverage upon a community initiative to offer private music lessons at a reasonable cost and grant scholarships to children in need, providing free lessons and instruments. By inviting the broader public to contribute to our early development, it helps to affirm and build the engaged community necessary for sustaining SWARA Community Arts Centre into the future. With your contribution, you become a founder of the academy not only financially, but also conceptually, by partaking in the very experiences we hope to create for audiences and performers to interact. Your pledge will contribute to SWARA’s initial operation for the first 24 months after which we aspire to be a self sustaining community.
