Patronage Matters<\/h2>\n

Patronage goes beyond philanthropy. At its core, it is an unwavering belief in the inherent value of artistic expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indian classical arts are one of the richest cultural traditions in the world
They are also one of the most under-resourced<\/h3>\n

A look at the infrastructure for classical dance and music in the West is revealing. Every major city across the United States is home to a major ballet company, symphony, and opera. These institutions are supported by major endowments that ensure a viable future for art in America. These endowments, supported by individual patrons who firmly believe in the inherent value of classical art, reflect the value society places on these art forms. An equivalent milieu of arts organizations does not exist for Indian classical dance and music; artists in these fields need to operate independently, without institutional support. Take a look at a snapshot of some arts endowments in the U.S. For comparison, the endowments of two major Indian national arts institutes \u2013 Kathak Kendra and Sangeet Natak Akademi \u2013 are provided.<\/p>\n

The financial infrastructure for Indian classical art<\/b><\/h3>\n

trails far behind that for classical art in the West<\/b><\/h3>\n

<\/h4>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

No place is this more evident than in the salaries available to classical dancers and musicians in the West. Salaries for ballet dancers, musicians and artistic directors at major dance companies and symphonies in the U.S can range from $50K to $2 million and beyond. Data on income for Indian classical artists is unavailable. Yet we know that there are no institutions that provide regular salary support for Indian classical musicians and dancers. As a result these artists must be self-supporting, relying on teaching income and performance fees to earn a living. At Leela, we are committed to providing artists and educators with the financial and salary support they need. Salary and pay for artists and educators at Leela are provided in the chart below (information sourced\u00a0from guidestar.org and glassdoor.com).<\/span><\/p>\n

The First Self-Standing Endowment for Indian Classical Arts<\/h3>\n

In 2016, Leela launched a campaign to establish the first self-standing endowment for India’s artistic and cultural heritage. This endowment aims to build the financial infrastructure necessary for Indian classical dance and music to thrive for generations to come. The Leela staff and board have successfully raised more than $675,000 in seed funding for the endowment. In 2020, we granted our inaugural awards, providing direct support to some of today’s leading artists.\u00a0Our goal is to raise $2 million to provide support to many more artists and educators and fuel innovation and excellence in the field.<\/p>\n
