Board of Directors: Effendi Sihombing

ARCINDA (The Arts and Culture of Indonesia) is a non-profit organization, with 501 (c)(3) status. Through gamelan music and dance, our mission is to promote traditional Indonesian culture all across Colorado and the USA. Our influence has allowed us to receive several grants from City of Fort Collins, City of Longmont, and other organizations.

We are active in various cities in Colorado, with our main practice areas being in Loveland and Denver. We hold yearly performances at Denver Art Museum, Dragon Boat Festival, CU Boulder International, and also frequently perform at various locations/events in Colorado. Not only limited to Colorado and the USA, we have participated in the Bali Arts Festival in Indonesia with both American and local Bali communities!
