ART CAMPS by RNAF

RNAF (ROUBLE NAGI ART FOUNDATION)  ART CAMPS SUPPORTED BY NGO PRATHAM.

THE ART CAMPS WE ORGANIZE EVERY YEAR HAS BEEN GROWING STEADILY AND EFFECTIVELY. WE ORGANIZE THESE CAMPS FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN AND CHILDREN FROM GOOD PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE CAMPS WHICH HELPS THEM INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER SHARE VIEWS AND LEARN FUNDAMENTALS OF ART. WE ARE SUPPORTED BY PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE SUCH AS TEACHERS, EDUCATIONISTS, IDEALISTIC VOLUNTEERS, CELEBRITIES, AND SOCIALITES ETC.

I BEGAN THESE CAMPS WITH THE HELP OF PRATHAM AROUND SIX YEARS AGO, HOLDING CAMPS FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN IN DELHI AND MUMBAI. WE SHORTLIST PAINTINGS AND HOLD AUCTIONS AND HAVE ART SHOWS WITH THE PAINTINGS CREATED IN THESE CAMPS RAISING FUNDS FOR EDUCATION AND MORE CAMPS.

MY ART CAMPS ARE BASICALLY A PLATFORM FOR INTERACTION OF THE NOT SO FORTUNATE WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. ART I BELIEVE IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS OF EXPRESSING YOURSELF, AND IS A GREAT FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT.

A SHORT WHILE AGO MY FRIEND MR MADHAV CHAVAN (FOUNDER OF PRATHAM) INFORMED ME THAT ONE OF MY STUDENTS, MAYUR WHO LEARNT ART DURING MY ART CAMPS AS A CHILD HAS NOW TAKEN ART AS HIS CAREER AND IS STUDYING ART AT REHAJA ART COLLAGE IN MUMBAI, HEARING THIS I FELT OVERJOYED AND AM MORE DETERMIND TO ATTRACT OUR YOUTH TO HOLD CAMPS NOT ONLY ART BUT SOCAIL INTERACTION CAMPS AS WELL. GIVING THESE CHILDREN AN AVENUE AND SHOWING THEM POSSEBILITIES ON HOW TO MAKE AN HONTEST LIVING.

ROUBLE NAGI ART FOUNDATION IS YOUNG AND ACTIVE A FEW YEARS BACK WE SUPPORTED A HANDICAPPED ARTIST SHEILA FROM LUCKNOW, TO HOLD HER FIRST FINE ART EXHIBITION IN MUMBAI. THE SHOW WAS CURATED BY ME AND WE RAISED FUNDS FOR HER AND GAVE HER A PLATFORM TO EARN HER LIVING WITH WHAT SHE KNOWS BEST, PAINTING. INCIDENTALLY SHE HAS NO HAND AND PAINTS WITH HER FEET. I WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE RESPONSE I GOT FROM PEOPLE, AND A VERY SUCCESSFUL SHOW.

MY FOCUS NOW ARE SMALL TOWNS IN INDIA AND WILL BE TRAVELLING TO KHAJURAO, AURANGABAD, GOA,   ETC BUILDING AWARENESS, HOLDING ART CAMPS AND SOCIAL INTERACTION CAMPS IN THESE CITIES.  INDIA IS YOUNG OUR YOUTH MAKES AROUND 41% OF OUR TOTAL POPULATION  I LIKE MANY OTHERS SEE THIS AS AN ADVANTAGE AND WANT SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE FROM ALL FIELDS TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

AS AN ACCLAIMED MURAL ARTIST, “WE SUPPORT AND FUND EDUCATION,SPONSOR SHOWS FOR FRESH ARTISTS WHO DON’T HAVE THE MONEY TO EXHIBIT, AS AN ARTIST I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR ARTISTS TO HAVE A SHOW.” EVERY YEAR WE HAVE SO MANY YOUNG ARTISTS WHO GRADUATE FROM OUR COLLEGES AND WAIT FOR YEARS BEFORE HAVING A SHOW DUE TO FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS WE AT RNAF ALWAYS SUPPORT YOUNG ARTISTS.

MY ART CAMP THIS YEAR WILL START ON THE 24^TH OF FEBRUARY 2013 AT THE CAR FREE DAY AND CYCLETHON, HELD IN BANDRA CARTER ROAD THERE ON WILL TRAVEL TO 12 CITIES IN INDIA. AND FINALLY WILL HOLD AN ART EVENING AND EXHIBITION TO SHOWCASE THE BEST WORKS CREATED. ALL THE PAINTINGS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON LINE AS WELL. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE AT THE ART CAMP.
