The Thai Cultural and Fine Arts Institute of Chicago

The Education, Preservation, and Promotion of Thai Culture

Welcome to the Thai Cultural and Fine Arts Institute. We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and education of Thai culture and fine arts in the Chicago area and surrounding states.

Members of the Thai Cultural and Fine Arts Institute have traveled to different parts of the United States and Thailand to perform at numerous events and functions, with near future plans to travel to more locations around the world. In addition, joint programs with Thailand's top performing arts schools and groups have given our members, once in a lifetime opportunities to learn, interact, and perform with renowned artists and teachers.

With the growing numbers of American-born Thais and students from Thailand studying in the Chicagoland area, we have become the most important resource in the preservation of Thailand's beautiful arts and culture. And with growing interest and awareness of Thai culture, we have become a valuable resource to the City of Chicago and surrounding areas and states.
