Support Indonesian Arts!
Support Our
2026 Campaign
For nearly a decade, Nusantara Arts has opened the doors of Indonesian music and dance to Buffalo, inviting people of every age, background, and ability to sit together, strike a gong, and discover something extraordinary. We have been building the capacity and organizational ability to bring incredible art to Buffalo for years, and with our new strategic plan we are ready to get to the next level.

Our programs have changed countless lives. We’ve seen students walk in shy or uncertain, and walk out glowing with confidence and connection. We’ve watched immigrants rediscover cultural pride, musicians find new creative homes, and families learn together across generations.
That’s why this year’s campaign is so important, especially now.
