This art summit hosted over a period of 5 days, is being held every year for the last 3 years. This year’s summit was held at Shilpgram in Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur which provided an excellent setting for this event held between November 21-25,2015. Jawahar Kala Kendra is a popular venue for art, painting and photography exhibitions, craft fairs in Jaipur. The building was designed by the famous architect Charles Correa.

Artist Vinay Sharma showcased his 300 miniature canvas in a separate booth. The booth looked amazing, with all the miniature canvas occupying entire space. In one of the corners were few old radios and transistors dating from the 1950s to 1970s!!

The art summit was quite an interesting one. I especially like the open area where the artists were expressing their creativity -live and one could walk in and interact with them!! This becomes a great platform to mingle and exchange your views with celebrated artist…and get enriched!!
Jaipur has an active community that loves art, theater and crafts. The city has been witnessing a lot of action in the last few years. A few popular events to take place in the pink city are Jaipur Literature Festival,  Jairangam, Jaipur International Film Festival – JIFF to name a few. Jaipur Art Summit is a great addition to the city. There were no entry charges to attend Jaipur Art Summit.

Arv,
I had missed this post! I would absolutely love to see this art summit. What a treat this would be. But thanks to you, I got a fabulous tour through your photographs!
I’m happy you enjoyed this virtual tour. I’m sure it’s something that every artist and art lover will enjoy. What aspects of art you love sandhya? Painting? Sketching?…
Arv, I would not call myself an artist at all. My degree is in architecture and I love all kinds of arts and crafts.These days food photography seems to have taken over with the blog but I do enjoy the food styling part of it a lot.
Food styling? Ah! looks like you’re applying your architecture knowledge very well! 🙂
Technically, you’re not an artist but you surely know how to play around with lines and curves given your degree in architecture. So yes, you too have a good sense of aesthetics. I will consider that as someone who is better than a layman. 🙂
