The Indonesian Institute of the Arts Bali (ISI Bali) once again held the Adhyapaka Wara Forum (Capacity Building) from Monday to Thursday (24–27/11), at the ISI Bali Campus and the Jatiluwih Tourist Attraction (DTW) in Tabanan. The program, themed “Bhakti–Bhuwana–Bhakta (An Offering to Honor the World)”, served as a strategic platform to strengthen character, solidarity, and institutional commitment in shaping an academic community that is service-oriented, impactful, and adaptive to contemporary challenges.
The Committee Chair, Dr. Made Bayu Pramana, reported that this year’s Capacity Building program was attended by 80 participants consisting of institutional leaders, lecturers, and administrative staff of ISI Bali. All participants were divided into ten sekaa (groups): Sekaa Kuas, Kipas, Panggul, Kelir, Kamera, Potlot, Kanvas, Pahat, Suling, and Cukil. The program was further supported by 20 committee members working intensively from preparation to reporting phases.

The implementation of Adhyapaka Wara 2025 is expected to foster a renewed mindset—more responsive in service, more creative, and more oriented toward generating impactful contributions for the institution and society. The spirit of togetherness cultivated throughout the program further strengthened relationships among leaders, lecturers, and staff in realizing ISI Bali as a distinguished and dignified art institution.
