Art is evolutionary. Art is revolutionary. Art is inclusive. Art is illusive.
When we discuss art, we talk about Raza, Souza and the Tagores. When we talk about art spaces, we think of galleries, museums and cultural centres. Have we ever thought about the artists who reside in every street and nook of the city? On the occasion of Art Day, which is celebrated every year on April 15, let’s embrace and promote the creative activity and its relation with the elements of society. Let’s honour those artists and artisans who create highly specialised art in the city which is not just for the elites, but everyone. While exploring the city, one would definitely find the beautiful baskets, matkas and the gajras on the streets; well the aesthetics of such articles is so appealing and soothing for the eyes. Today, we have chosen three such public spaces and artists who are constructing utilitarian art for the rich and the needy alike.
