NAMASTE! Welcome to JAYADEVI ARTS INC!
JAI Mission & Purpose
JayaDevi Arts Inc (JAI) founded 2008 is a non profit organization since 2010. JAI preserves, teaches, and presents the arts and culture of Indo- Caribbean communities from Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica, Suriname, and other parts of the Caribbean living in the South Florida area. JAI works to rejuvenate Indo-Caribbean cultural and artistic life and to restore self-esteem to this new American community. JAI stimulates original and artistic creativity such as fusing traditional classical arts form with modern non traditional styles, especially among the younger generation of Indo-Caribbean youths born in the United States. JAI's Cultural skills and artistic craftsmanship emerge from year-round workshops between tradition-bearers, master artists, scholars and young students. . JayaDevi is specifically concerned with the activities and development of community youth. Here JAI's goal is to strengthen community infrastructure support and create the environment necessary for youth to develop into well rounded young adults.
As the ONLY Indo-Caribbean Organization in Florida and second organization in the US, our goal is to help Indo-Caribbeans excel through a sustained arts program engaging local, professional teaching artists, educators, and instructors. Through the arts we are bridging the generational gap by encouraging interest and participation by youth, parents, elders, family, custodians, and community. JAI work revolves around cultural initiatives that organize and mentor community members to produce sustainable arts programs in the underserved neighborhoods of color. These neighborhood outreach projects support traditional and contemporary art forms of people of South Asian ancestry from the Caribbean and South America
JAI's GOAL is to strengthen community infrastructure support and create the environment necessary for youth to develop into well rounded young adults.
