Over the years we have received many calls from artists, mostly singers and musicians, but also theatre artists, asking to be invited to perform at the Loft Forum. While we could invite a few, we had to say no to a vast majority. This was something that had been playing on our mind, and we are now taking a step to bridging this gap.

Introducing Spotlight at The Loft Forum, a project focused on contributing to the art and cultural landscape of our city, specifically to the performing arts. This is simultaneously a new beginning and a continuation of the work The Loft Forum has been doing for over a decade.

With a commitment to nurturing talent and fostering artistic exchange, we aim to create a thriving performing arts community that will captivate and inspire audiences of all cultures and backgrounds.

Through collaborations with artists and cultural organisations, we seek to bring world class music, theatre, and varied art forms to Pune. We also aim to empower aspiring musicians, actors, directors, and writers, by providing opportunities for them to showcase their talents. By enriching our cultural landscape, Spotlight aims to not only entertain and provoke thought, but also contribute to the socio-economic development of Pune.

We look forward to seeing you at our events. If you would like to know more about how you can support this work, connect with us at any time.
