In this way, the Foundation works to make art accessible at no cost, so that people from all walks of life can experience art. Apart from this, the UNM Foundation is also actively involved in other sectors of society, such as in the fields of anemia eradication, maternal health, cardiology, pediatrics and primary education. This effort of the Foundation is also making an important contribution in the field of human service and knowledge service.
growing impact of expression
The “Expression” platform has now gained an important place among the major art events in India. In this year’s edition, 1,236 artists from across the country applied to submit their art, which is a clear testament to the growing popularity of this initiative. So far, more than 3 lakh people have benefited from these amazing art exhibitions through this project.
How are artists selected?
Artists are selected through a transparent and detailed process. First, original works are requested from artists by public invitation. Then there is the final selection based on the selection of the curators and the input of the mentors. Selected artists have the opportunity to perform on different days over the course of 15 days, giving them a wide platform for their art.
impact of expression on society
The purpose of “Abhyakti” is to give a new direction and identity to art in the society. This initiative of the Foundation provides the public with an experience of art beyond social, physical and personal limits. It is an important platform to promote creativity and experimentation in all art forms, identifying and supporting emerging talents. Over the last six years, Abhivyakti has created its own identity and has become a prestigious platform for art lovers.
