In a move to encourage the city’s upcoming artists, the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath will be hosting the ‘Bring-Your-Own-Art’ festival on December 7th, 8th and 9th. The event seeks to explore the talents of the ‘undiscovered artist’—anyone whose hobby is art—and participation is open to all.
The ‘Bring-Your-Own-Art’ (B.Y.O.A) festival works exactly as the name would suggest, with a novel do-it-yourself theme running through it. This forum gives the common man the chance to put his artistic skills on display. This event will also offer budding artists an opening to network with other members of the fraternity and will promote the work of local artisans. Entries are invited from all age groups and a background in art is not required.
The event is the initiative of three friends with a penchant for art- Jose P.L, a postgraduate in computers who moonlights as an artist, Stephen Dass, a freelance HR consultant and Rahul Thomas Venkatesh, a postgraduate in Fine arts who works with 2D animation films. The event is being organised under the banner of Eclipse Ventures, an event management company run by Stephen Dass.
Participation categories cover just about any form of artistic expression, from painting, sculpturing and murals to photography, collage, poster design and cartooning.
Entries are required to be photographed and sent to the aforementioned B.Y.O.A Committee and will be short listed for the exhibition at the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishad. The last date for entries is the 30th of November. For more details on participation categories and the rules, visit the festival’s website at http://www.bringyourownart.com/.
