Artist Association of Saikala
About Us
The Artist Association of Saikala is a multipurpose organization dedicated to supporting and empowering artists across various creative fields. This platform serves as a bridge for emerging and established artists, providing them with opportunities, industry insights, and mentorship from experienced professionals.
We believe that while basic human needs include food, clothing, and shelter, art and entertainment have become the fourth essential need. The creative industry is full of challenges, and many aspiring artists struggle to find the right opportunities and guidance. Understanding these challenges, our association was established to nurture talent, connect artists, and provide the resources they need to thrive.
Our Mission
- To create a strong network of artists from different creative fields, including acting, writing, directing, photography, poetry, RJing, and voice-over artistry.
- To provide job opportunities and career guidance to emerging artists.
- To offer mentorship from senior professionals in the industry.
- To conduct workshops, events, and interactive sessions for skill enhancement and professional growth.
Youth Association Initiative
In addition to supporting artists, we have also launched a Youth Association to empower young individuals. This initiative focuses on:
✔ Employment opportunities for young men and women
✔ Women empowerment programs
✔ Skill development and training sessions
✔ Awareness campaigns addressing social and cultural issues
A Message from Our Founder
“Having spent over ten years in the creative industry, I have faced numerous challenges, setbacks, and valuable learning experiences. Through this association, I aim to ensure that no budding artist has to struggle alone. Whether you are an actor, writer, director, poet, or any other creative professional, we welcome you to be a part of this community and grow together.”
