Indian Fine Arts Academy

Indian Fine Arts Academy (IFAA) is a non-profit community based organization founded in 1990 with the purpose of promoting Indian Classical Music and Dance among the residents of Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and neighborhood. The main emphasis of the academy is to arrange performances of prominent visiting music and dance artists from India and encourage local talents in classical music and dance. IFAA has arranged earlier and continues to encourage Vocal artists, Instrumentalists and dancers, from India every year by having their concerts.

IFAA also encourages and fosters local talents, by bringing the best in them in the field of music and dance. Towards this end, our Trustee Smt. Lalitha Seshadri has directed many musical features like "Navka Charithram", "Pibare Rama Rasam", "Prahalatha Charitham" using local artists (singers, instrumentalists & dancers).

Over the years with the support from the members, hard work and dedication of the past and present Committee members, IFAA has achieved its objective and has made rapid progress. With a humble initial membership of 30 in 1990, the membership has grown to 180 in 2007.
