The UMass Amherst Indian Classical Arts Society (ICAS) aims to foster appreciation and awareness of the Indian Classical Arts (ICA) through education, performance, and a platform for students to pursue their artistic endeavors. Our goal is to promote excellence in the practice of the Indian Classical Arts by bringing together students with a passion for ICA, and cultivating an appreciation for the ICA among the UMass Amherst community as well as the Five College community at large. We are raising money for our annual showcase next year where we showcase Indian Classical dance and music.
