The show will be opening for public view from October 25 – 28 at Creativity Gallery.

Showcasing the collection of paintings by senior, eminent and contempora­ry artists, the exhibition puts forth the various facets of life, nature, culture and religious thoughts.

The four-day show touches upon the thought of art as a medium to raise funds for a cause close to everyone’s heart.

Through the show, it is aimed that the muchneeded shelter is provided to the victims who have lost their near and dear and earning family members in Kerala.

Each artist has donated one piece of artwork to support this cause. “The Artists community along with me want to do our best to support the Government of Kerala to help the people in need to rebuild their houses and start a new life,” says Binoy. Kalam Patua states, “This is a great step by our artist’s community to help a bit for the Kerala flood victims and this is our responsibi­lity as a citizen of the country.”
