What the charity does

KALA SANGAM is an intercultural arts hub which aims to reflect the diversity of contemporary Britain through the work we present, the artists we support and the communities we engage. In Sanskrit, 'Kala' means arts and 'Sangam' means a meeting point. Specialising in South Asian arts and culture, most of our work takes place in our Arts Centre in the heart of Bradford.
