We regularly host events featuring artists based in the US such, as well as prominent visiting artists from India. and are a tax-exempt 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Some of Kalaavidya's initiatives to support the local arts community over the past year have included "Navaratri Kala Utsavam," an annual festival that features locally-based artists of various disciplines in full-length performances and "The Rasa Project," a digital venture that highlights local classical arts events and brings the community together by sharing experiences of local classical arts events. While uplifting the local community of artists, Kalaavidya Foundation also regularly hosts performances by guest artists from India, including Vid. Rama Vaidyanathan, Vid. Sreelakshmy Govardhanan, and Vid. Praveen Kumar and has conducted workshops by the latter two artists.
