The achievements of ISI BALI students continue to receive appreciation not only at home but also on international stages. In 2026, ISI BALI’s international artistic engagements included an invitation from the organizers of The Pasar Indonesia, participation in the Misato Bali Festival, and an official invitation to perform at a diplomatic reception hosted by the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The Pasar Indonesia was held at De Broodfabriek: Expo and Event Center, Rijswijk, the Netherlands, from 13 to 18 May 2026. The ISI BALI delegation consisted of Komang Prayoga Putra, a Master’s student in Arts; Dewa Ayu Made Adinda Ratna Devi, an undergraduate Dance student; and Ni Komang Trisna Devi, an Applied Bachelor’s student in Fashion Design.
The three selected students presented classical and contemporary Balinese artistic works, as well as a mask-making arts workshop. The event was officially opened by Laurentius Amrih Jinankung, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, together with Jeldert de Boer, Director of De Broodfabriek. The event attracted thousands of international visitors, including members of the Indonesian diaspora.
At the Misato Bali Festival 2026, which receives substantial financial support from the City of Misato, Shimane Prefecture, Japan, ISI BALI will present classical Balinese arts and collaborative works developed with local artists.
The delegation will be led by Ni Wayan Suartini, M.Sn., Coordinator of the Vocational Education in Cosmetology Study Program, accompanied by two undergraduate Dance students, Ni Luh Komang Sekar Kumala Dewi and Ni Putu Nilam Cahyani. The Misato Bali Festival will be held from 8 to 12 October 2026 under the theme of Cultural Exchange and Workshop.
In addition to participating in these two international events, ISI BALI has also received an official invitation from the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Hanoi, Vietnam, to participate in a series of diplomatic reception events from 6 to 9 October 2026.
Rector of ISI BALI, Prof. Dr. Wayan Adnyana, expressed his appreciation to ISI BALI’s international strategic partners for their invitations and trust in providing opportunities for the university’s academic community to present Indonesian classical works, contemporary innovations, and diverse forms of artistic collaboration.
“This appreciation is aligned with ISI BALI’s efforts to establish itself as the Global-Bali Arts Creativity Center Hub, generating broad and universal impact.”
Through these national recognitions, international collaborations, and global artistic engagements, ISI BALI continues to strengthen its position as an institution of higher arts education that connects knowledge, creativity, cultural heritage, innovation, and international collaboration.
