As a musician herself, Pakamas knows the importance of the arts as a creative outlet and wishes to share her passion for music with others by expanding the musical community in Chiang Mai. She is passionate about making the arts an integral part of leisure time for people in Chiang Mai, while also providing new opportunities for musicians to practice and perform for audiences. She used grant funding to purchase a video camera and monthly Adobe membership for video editing.

Five-Year Project Goals:

• Build a large and strong community of musicians in Chiang Mai
• Build a co-working space for musicians to practice and perform

Organization Information: The Local Pitch

The Local Pitch is a non-profit organization based in Chiang Mai, Thailand and aims to help local musicians show off their talents to widen the musical community as well as promote Chiang Mai as a creative city. The organization helps local musicians by providing a space for them to perform, but also improves the overall community of Chiang Mai by providing individuals with the chance to see live performances. The Local Pitch forms a network of local musicians, providing a new environment to meet people with similar interests who can offer advice, help with practice or become a new friend.
