Art Meets Activism

At Art ki Paathshala, we believe that art is not just a form of expression but a powerful tool for change. Through the lens of creativity, we aim to foster dialogue on pressing social issues, enabling young minds to challenge the status quo and inspire action. Our programs are designed to empower students to use their artistic talents to bring attention to critical societal challenges, creating a space where art meets activism.

Breaking Boundaries - "Education for All"

Education is a fundamental right, yet barriers persist that prevent equal access for all. In our Breaking Boundaries photography contest, we invite students to capture and narrate stories that reflect the theme of "Education for All."

How does education transform lives? What challenges do individuals face in accessing education, and how are they overcome? These are questions we hope your photographs will explore.

Participants are encouraged to submit a series of photographs that tell a cohesive story about the importance of education in breaking down societal barriers – your interpretation of the theme is what will make your work stand out.

Each submission should be accompanied by a 100-word summary that explains the narrative behind your photographs.

Reward: The most compelling entries will be showcased in our Author’s Corner, where your work will be featured as a spotlight piece on our website, giving you a platform to share your vision with a broader audience.

Deadline: September 30th, 2024

Canvas of Change - "Sustainable Futures"

Sustainability is the foundation of a better tomorrow. In our Canvas of Change art competition, we challenge students to visualize and create artwork that embodies the theme of "Sustainable Futures."

How can sustainable practices lead to empowered communities? What does a future look like where harmony between humanity and nature is achieved?

This program encourages participants to submit paintings, illustrations, or any form of visual art that reflects their vision of sustainability and its impact on future generations—your artwork should tell a story of hope and responsibility.

Each submission should include a brief caption that captures the essence of your artwork.

Reward: Selected artworks will be featured in our Author’s Corner, offering a unique opportunity to have your art recognized and appreciated by a larger community.

Deadline: September 30th, 2024
