GLAC -- A retrospective!
Great Lakes Aradhana Committee (GLAC) is a
premier non-profit organization committed to preserving, presenting and
promoting arts in the Great Lakes region.
As a member, patron & supporter of GLAC, here are a few things you probably
didn’t know about GLAC.
One of the oldest and largest organizations of its kind (30yrs in 2015, 2600 in
mailing list)
Only organization in NA to bring over 30 events under its label (includes 10
white labels)
Only organization in NA to partner with top Universities, Museums, City and
State govts
Run by team of passionate people bringing you the best North America has to
offer
One of the few North American based organizations which is purely volunteer run
2015 is a going to be a landmark year for GLAC in so many ways:
30th year of the organization
25th year of Navarathri festival
5th year of SAROVAR and
10th year as a formal organization!
Also, in 2015, we are beginning our
partnership with Dearborn and the Arab American National Museum. This unique
partnership will be part of an effort to build bridges that span racial,
cultural and ethnic divisions amongst the communities. With these goals in mind,
we are planning a concert with the Museum's Public Programming to embraces all
cultural art forms. Stay tuned to our website for details..
In 2015, GLAC was instrumental in hosting & promoting over
30 concerts in SE Michigan including ‘jambavans’ like Sanjay Subrahmanyan and
Sri TN Seshagopalan. No other organization in North America can boast such an
amazing lineup!
As we come to an end of a successful 2015 season, we would like to thank you,
