Geeva Arts Festival
The Indian classical dance and music festival of Louisville KY
Apply to the 2025 Festival
The Geeva Arts Festival is an annual celebration of the Indian classical arts run by the Guru Vandana Academy, a non-profit organization in Louisville, KY. The performance dates are July 11th, 12th, and 13th 2025. Each artist will receive a $300 honorarium in addition to travel, accommodation, and food. The performance slot will be 30 to 40 minutes.
This year, our festival will be centered on "Life in Color." This is a broad topic that could be interpreted as stories in which color is a central aspect of plot, "color" is interpreted as emotions or sentiments, or spoken about in relation to ragas and rhythms. You could choose to focus on a single color. What does the color "Red" evoke? blue? Green? We encourage you to find unique ways of approaching the festival theme, and invite you to reinterpret or adjust existing works to better suit our curation.
