What is JAI?
The Joyful Arts Initiative is inspired by Swami Kriyananda’s vision of how the arts can uplift consciousness. JAI explores and celebrates the realization of this ideal, fueled by the power of human creativity that can transform the world.
​
The creative process re-ignites the fire within us all, and the vibrant flow of its power transforms us individually as well as collectively. JAI serves as a nexus for the arts to come together in a wellspring of inspired endeavor.
