The "Artist's lounge" an initiative by Verve launches in June, 2011.
It has Artist Studios and is an area for artists to meet, share and spend time together as an unorthodox forum. it changes the way art studios are viewed. Artist's lounge is an alternative art space where like minded people from different creative fields viz. designers, writers, poets etc are welcome to come and interact with the professional visual artists in a comfortable non intimidating space over a cup of coffee or browse through it’s mini library. it is an open house.
Situated in Ahmedabad, a two minute walk from the National Institute of Design, the Artist's lounge provides an opportunity to Artists from the visual Art fields to stay for a short duration and experience and explore the ahmedabad art culture. The program seeks to connect artists from various genres. The purpose is not only to advance the arts, but also to provide an atmosphere to foster cultural exchange between the artists and their adopted home. Verve attempts to make it convenient for artists by accepting applications for studios at the Artist in Residence Programme all year round.
Artist’s Lounge will be a self financed programme where Workshops will be conducted each month in various mediums : Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Clay Modeling and Papier Mache, for both children and adults in order to maintain the free studios for professional artists and at the same increases art awareness and makes art more accessible to those interested in learning.
