“Appreciation and development of classical music in Indonesia”
In the beginning, JakArt School of Arts was known as Jakarta International Music School (JIMS), which was established in 1992. JIMS is engaged in the appreciation and development of classical music in Indonesia. To achieve this goal, JIMS provided teachers with a strong educational background who are Indonesian music artists who receive education abroad. The school uses ABRSM (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) international curriculum.
In 2008, in collaboration with JakArt foundation, JIMS extended its coverage beyond classical music education, reaching other arts field such as theater, dance, photography, and fine arts.
As a result of this collaboration, JIMS is now known by the name of JakArt School of Art.
“Support the arts, support humanity”
On December 1, 1999 the JakArt foundation was born as an art institution with an original mission to embrace human beings who care about the building of a human civilization through art. At its essence, JakArt is a homage to:
1) Creativity and the human intellect,
2) The ability to express the reality of life and the world in which we live, and
3) The capacity to understand and appreciate the thoughts and feelings of other people.
JakArt believes that if these capacities are fully developed in individuals and groups, then peace would have a much greater chance to happen in this world.
For more than a decade, JakArt has hosted:
– over 1000 events, from world-class performances & exhibitions to public art & spontaneous expression
