They say Kolkata knows how to revere art, creation, language and their deep attachment to the city. The Creative Arts Academy found its home in Kolkata over twenty years ago. As we complete more than two decades of our existence, we are glad to have created a new inclusive and fully-equiped arts space for people of all genders, age groups, communities, economics backgrounds and special needs - An 'Artshiyana' for everyone.
The Creative Arts Academy and Testimony Arts have been selected as Grantees for the Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants 2021-22 for their collaborative project 'Arts Alive'.
‘ARTS ALIVE’ – The Arts, The Artist and The Times, is a webinar series curated by Ramanjit Kaur (Founder Director, TCAA, India) during the pandemic. The first six episodes of this series brought together artists from South Asia and worldwide to investigate, analyze and archive the global artistic activity during the pandemic.
‘The Australian segment of this series will be co-curated by Kaur and Tammy Brennan (Artistic Director, Testimony Arts, Australia) and will bring together art practitioners from Australia and worldwide to look into the dialogic intersection of different artistic disciplines (Music, Dance, Theatre, Visual Arts, Film Making, Literature, Arts Management, Curation of Festivals and Funding) in the international cultural context.
I have been closely associated with The Creative Arts Academy for brilliant productions like 'Simayon se Parey', 'Beyond Borders' and 'The Dice of Desires' and I have always been spellbound by the way TCAA contributes towards the growth of every single artist, whether they be children or adults. I am absolutely certain that TCAA will continue to be an inspiration to many generations of students like always.
TANMOY BOSE
TCA has always proven to be a pathbreaking arts organisation, with brilliant productions like 'Beyond Borders' !

With the Academy, TCAA is sure to pave a new path in the arts, igniting fresh minds and bringing communities together!

The Creative Arts Academy is a dynamic organisation which has been working constantly during the pandemic. From script writing to voice modulation from storytelling to mental health, the range has been staggering. Keeping young people curious and active during dark times has been truly commendable.
NEELAM MANSINGH CHOUDHRY
The Creative Arts Academy is a prime Arts organisation, doing much work in the arts scene including training, curations and production. 'Dramebaazi', their flagship festival mentors the young generation to become future Creators and Professionals. Their organisational skills are truly commendable!

Here’s what our Juniors Theatre Production’s Director, Ceiloni Sengupta, has to say about why she chose ‘Pepper the Phantom Pet,’ a heartwarming play by Paro Anand, for our younger performers.
The play beautifully delves into themes of loneliness, friendship, and the power of imagination—issues that deeply resonate with children. Through the whimsical world of Pepper, we explore how young minds cope with their emotions and find connection in unexpected places. It’s a story that touches hearts and sparks important conversations, all while keeping the magic alive.
Come join us on 23rd November at 4:30 PM as our young stars bring this enchanting tale to life in our studio theatre production!
