| Over
the last 12 years The
Arts Trust has conceptualized
and put together a series of innovative parth
breaking events which are listed below.
We
have put together exhibitions for artists from
India and abroad. We have also put together other
large art shows and art events. We have worked
with colleges & have been involved in fund
raising for charities & have published brochures,
catalogues and seminar papers.
A
list of the events put together by us along
with a brief description is given below :

Art
and its producers are usually
the first casualties of tranny.
The destruction of Afghanistan's
Buddha is the most recent
example. Artists are blamed
for eroding morality and are
the easiest targets for political
agendas, whereas artists view
the devout as creativity squashing
zealots.
Amid
all human intellectual activities,
science has been of utmost
importance in the past 300
years. It overshadowed religion,
denying the existence of the
invisible that cannot be measured
by instruments. Science has
singularly been responsible
for changing human perception
about God. Art makes the ordinary
......... extra ordinary.

| Set
up in 1992 at The Oberoi Hotel
(Mumbai) and followed up by
two similar events at The Leela.
The Masters of India Show had
India's top artists participating
and was a great occasion for
corporate entertainment by the
hotel that hosted the event. |

This
was one of our first thematic
shows held at the Jehangir
Art Gallery in October 1992.
It had over 25 artists participating
from all over India.
20
Artists have worked on the
Theme 'A MAN AND A WOMAN'
the oldest relationship known
to human kind. These 20 artists
are Aditya Basak, Altaf, Amitabha
Banerjee, Arpita Singh, Ashok
Bhowmik, Badri Narayan, Bikash
Bhattacharjee, Gurcharan Singh,
Jaideep Mehrotra, Jogen Chowdhury,
Kanchan Das Gupta, Navjot,
Pradip Maitra, Rameshwar Broota,
Sanjay Bhattacharyya, Shyamal
Dutta Ray, Solanki V., Suhas
Roy, Vasundhara Tewari, Yusuf
Arakkal. They cannot be classified
as a group, nor are there
any claims for stylistic unity
or even similarity. If there
is a unifying factor, it is
common leaning towards an
Indian and essentially humanistic
tradition. A tradition which
like the different languages
we speak has in its deepest
origins in an ancient culture.

Set
up in 1993, the RPG Art Camp was a precursor amongst
such events now being held by other organisers
as well. There is interaction between artists
and students from the JJ School of Arts who are
invited to spend time with the participating artists.
The event is held annually in Marve at the Beach
House of Mr. Harsh Goenka. The sylvan surroundings
are conducive to creativity and many such art
camps are now being held at various places in
India. During the camp there are slide shows,
discussions and talks by participating artists.
The event is now in its 10th year.
Set
up in association with us, is now in its 5th year.
It is one of Oberoi's finest events for corporate
entertainment and is attended by the Who's Who
of the Mumbai city. The Oberoi derives immense
mileage from this event. There is also an interaction
between the press and the hotel. The event ends
with a very chic Champagne Brunch hosted jointly
by the Oberoi and ourselves.
We
put together an exhibition of students, works
of the United World College. The opening evening
was held at Mahindra Towers and the works were
on display for a week at the NCPA thereafter.

The
Rotary Club of Bombay has
undertaken this project to
convey its feelings of solidarity
and oneness to our valiant
Armed Forces and at the same
time contribute in a meaningful
manner, on an ongoing basis
to alleviate the sufferings
of the families of such persons
of the Defence personnel who
have suffered as a result
of any armed conflict while
serving our nation.
It
is the Club's way of saluting
our true heroes who selflessly
guard and protect our frontiers
to enable us continue leading
a normal life.
