Artists preserving and celebrating Indian cultural heritage through ABSS

Our Mission

Celebrating & Preserving India's Cultural Heritage

Our main objective is to work for the promotion and preservation of indigenous culture and fine arts — dance, music, drama, film and more — and to provide teaching, training and promotion of these activities to all sections of society without discrimination. We also commit to work for the overall development of society and will undertake any necessary work, as and when needed, for the welfare of the nation.

ABSS and its teaching promote teamwork and mutual appreciation for the unity and diversity of a dying art. Art is truly the backbone of a culture, and our students are able to create art and apply their skills in daily life. ABSS recognizes the value of full access to state-of-the-art production facilities.

Those who join us gain experience, connections, guidance and precious knowledge through workshops, collaborations and tie-ups with regional artists and renowned institutions. ABSS is a constantly evolving institution devoted to the safekeeping of art.
