Striving to propagate Art
“The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.” Michelangelo
Michelangelo whose works embodied the Renaissance in Art that fearlessly portrayed life as it is. Inspired by the
great maestro, we at Artscapes have been passionately propagating the diverse and unbounded field of art. The
appreciation from artists, art lovers for the various events/workshops organized by Artscapes, and the positive
coverage by media has emboldened us to raise the bar for future events. We believe that our team's zeal, sincerity,
transparency, professional approach and support by the art community will definitely make Artscapes do more
meaningful each passing year.
Artscapes
A non-profit, non-government organization, which promotes artists by providing a platform that fosters excellence
in various spheres of art, is indeed moving ahead each year. In the past few years, we have successfully organized
exhibitions that have showcased the works of Indian artists from all across the country as well as those living in
other countries. These exhibitions have been patronized by eminent personalities from varied spheres.
His Excellency Shivraj V. Patil, Governor of Punjab and Administrator, UT, Chandigarh and Hon'ble Manish Tewari,
Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India inaugurated the All India Women Artists'
Contemporary Art Exhibition 2014 & 2013 respectively and praised the Artscapes team for the event.
Justice MMS Bedi, Justice Ajay Tewari, Justice Rajiv Raina, Punjab & Haryana High Court, Canadian Consulate have
been consistently patronizing our efforts.
One of the Artscapes’ objectives, to bring art to newer audience, has been achieved by innovative events wherein
art is promoted along big events in a bid to touch more lives like Jugalbandi Fusion Nite with Salil Bhatt, IGP
Invitational Golf tournament, which is one of the biggest events in North India. Artscapes launched Ludhiana Art
Beat (LAB), a platform to identify and promote talented artists in Punjab, which was followed by an exhibition
Freedom of Expression, which also had a workshop conducted by eminent artist Kalicharan Gupta. Eminent artists
Shobha Broota, Prof Biman B. Dass and Prof. Prem Singh headed the jury for the All India Art Exhibitions.
The Event
The fourth in the series of All India Women Artists' Contemporary Art Exhibition 2015, promises to get a spectacular
response. Gauging from the queries, mails, phone calls, from the artists across India, we anticipate a participation
of women artists from across the length and breadth of our country. We hope that the event would become a source
of inspiration for all aspiring women artists and provide them a platform to showcase their talent. This exhibition
would go a long way in promoting the cause of art amid women folk and we at Artscapes are proud to invite entries
for the same.

PRINCIPAL PROMOTER
Suraj Mukhi Sharma
An alumnus of the Government College of Art, Sector 10, Chandigarh, he has been connected with the art scene for
two decades now - from a young student of the fine arts to his current role as the CEO of a creative agency and as part
of the institutional art management scene. The company he heads, Degraphics - a forerunner in the contemporary
advertising and promotions arena - is the main source of funding and consultancy for ARTSCAPES.
Suraj has gradually worked towards making art more accessible, more widespread and the world of art better
organised. He is a founder member of Kala Maitri - an initiative of the GCA alumni. He is also an ex-member of the
General Council of the Lalit Kala Academy - the National Academy of Art - established at New Delhi in 1954 by
Government of India to promote and propagate understanding of Indian art, both within and outside the country and
a member of Board of Studies in Fine Arts, Panjab University, Chandigarh. Having engaged at the regional, national
and international arenas in art promotion at the institutional level, Suraj believes that a similar initiative must exist in
the sphere of private enterprises. ARTSCAPES fills that long felt gap and promises to bridge the gap between art and
its lovers. It aspires to bring the creators and patrons of art face to face through various initiatives in several
dimensions of art space.
