Art in Industry is yet another initiative to strengthen and promote the traditional and contemporary art forms in the country. We at Tata Steel are delighted to have so many eminent artists here at the steel city. The art camp will bolster the confidence of a large pool of upcoming talent participating in the camp.”
Talking about this platform and her incessant love for art, Anjolie Ela Menon said, “Art-In-Industry is a great initiative by Tata Steel to help budding talent grow and be nurtured in the guidance of accomplished artists. The focus of the initiative is well-being of artists as much as art itself as an artist’s creativity has to be unfettered in order to grow and mature.”
The art camp will not only witness the finest work of art from the eminent list of artists but will also offer a rare opportunity to the students from the city's art schools and institutions to showcase work to veterans of art at the workshops for art students which will be conducted by Shantkumar Hattarki and Manash Ranjan Jena.
