Community Fri-YAY!

A celebration of music, community and belonging the first Friday of every month

What if your favourite museum was also your neighbourhood’s favourite place to gather?

Community Fri-YAY! is IME’s monthly invitation to experience the museum as more than a place to simply visit but a space to meet, create, rehearse, share ideas, spend time with family and friends, or simply enjoy the company of others in a welcoming cultural space.

On the first Friday of every month, entry to the museum is free, encouraging Bengaluru’s families, young people, senior citizens, volunteers, neighbourhood groups, and community partners to make the museum their own.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful afternoon surrounded by music, a creative space to connect with your community, or a chance to discover something new, there’s always a place for you at IME’s Community Fri-YAY!

This Month at Community Fri-YAY!

Community Sing-Along
Join IME’s volunteers for an informal sing-along celebrating the joy of making music together. No experience is needed—just bring your voice and enthusiasm! Free and open to everyone.

Bring Your Community to IME

Community Fri-YAY! is also an open invitation to community groups, hobby clubs, neighbourhood associations, music circles, artists, volunteers, and cultural collectives to activate the museum through informal gatherings, rehearsals, pop-up workshops, volunteer-led activities, discussions, and neighbourhood showcases.
If you’d like to host an activity during Community Fri-YAY!, write to specialprojects@indianmusicexperience.org to discuss your idea.
