With the chief guest Shri Jay Narayan Vyas - Health and Tourism minister at the inauguration also in the picture : Siddheshwar Kanuga, Mr Anil Relia, Visha Kanuga of the Smart Art Hub who organised the exhibition and Rakesh Patel.
Riddhi and me are both from Studio Verve.
Riddhi is a Sculptor and works in metal and stone.
Women and Art : when i think of these two words together i think of Frida Kahlo, Camille Claudel...
I think of so many significant Indian women artists and their contribution to Art. From Anjolie Ela Memon to Bharti Kher women artists definitely are making their presence felt but by and large the no of women in the field is small as compared to men. A show highlighting their work therefore is welcome.
An Article featuring the exhibition - City Bhaskar.
The promotion for the show was done on quite a large scale with 9 hoardings and various banners across the city. A large no. of people visited the show.
I am Indeed glad to be a part of this exhibition and thank all those who attended.
