Over 17 Years of Celebrating Indian Classical Music and Dance in the Valley

Indo American Cultural Connect (IACConnect) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-political, and non-religious volunteer-run organization, incorporated on April 23, 2008. For over 17 years, we have been dedicated to preserving, promoting, and celebrating the timeless traditions of Indian Classical Music and Dance throughout the Valley.

Our mission is to enrich cultural awareness and appreciation by:

• Organizing high-quality events that spotlight the heritage and significance of Indian classical art forms
• Supporting and nurturing talent among both local and visiting artists
• Collaborating with other cultural and community organizations to elevate Indian classical performance arts
• Providing educational experiences through workshops, lecture-demonstrations, and community presentations
• Since our founding, IACConnect has proudly hosted dozens of acclaimed concerts, recitals, and educational workshops. Each year, we aim to present at least four major events—featuring vocal, instrumental, dance, or blended performances from celebrated artists.

A cornerstone of our local outreach is Guna Darshan, an annual platform that showcases the incredible talent of emerging artists and students from music and dance schools across the Valley. Guna Darshan has grown into a beloved tradition and continues to foster a sense of pride and opportunity within our artistic community.

Our work is made possible through the generosity of grants, sponsorships, and individual donations. We are proud recipients of support from institutions such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
