Visual delight: Multi-city art fair organised by Habiart Foundation begins today.
A five-day art fair featuring collections of emerging as well as accomplished senior artists opens at Travancore Palace here on Wednesday.
“Contemporary Art Fairs India-2008” will see the participation of 15 representative art institutions, art galleries and artists groups. It will showcase paintings, terracotta, bronze sculptures and host activities like a workshop on Canadi an calligraphy to popularise various art forms among Delhiites.
An important highlight of the fair will be an interesting workshop titled “Taare Zameen Par” in which some adults and children will participate in an on-the-spot paint competition much like the climax of Aamir Khan’s much appreciated movie.
Encourage interaction
According to the fair director Isha Mody, representatives of art institutions, art galleries and artists groups will get a platform to interact and exchange notes with each other.
Organised by Habiart Foundation, the multi-city art fair is aimed at encouraging both international and regional involvement as well as provide exposure to art. The recent success of the Foundation’s Kolkata Art Fair in February this year has proved that art aficionados keenly look forward to this annual treat.
Platform for new talent
Apart from exhibiting a wide and varied range of modern Indian painters and sculptors who have carved a niche for themselves, the fair will showcase new upcoming talent with great potential. Thus connoisseurs of art will get an opportunity to make good art-investments.
