Exhibit Space can be an Art Form in itself.
Exhibit spaces are charged with beauty of the art works and also of their own. Though not all can be as spacious as National Museums, there is possibility for any pocket of space to be beautiful, turning into conducive platform for display of Arts.
We enjoy this challenge of turning common public places into exhibit gallery.
Past exhibitions also included interactions between Artists, Teachers, Community members. Youths. Dialogues, demonstrations, workshops are indivisible part of these educational exhibits.
Starting Spring 2023, we are opening partnerships for organizing Exhibits as Fundraisers. Exhibits can be for sale and events, educational in nature. if interested, Check more info and fill the form at the end of the page on Symbiotic Fundraisers.
