COVID-19 RESOURCES


​Artists from India and around the world lead our carefully crafted programmes which run in partnership with respected NGOs, schools, foundations and museums. 

We have seen time and again how even a short engagement can build confidence and self-esteem among participants.  Our Teaching Fellowship and Artroom programmes can change the course of a life.

We hope you enjoy looking around our website and that it gives you a good idea of what we make happen.

COVID-19 update ​
Given the current health crises in relation to COVID-19, Artreach is not holding face-to-face workshops, events or meetings until the situation improves.
However we are more than happy to speak over a call, or connect via online platforms to discuss future plans and the many creative online workshops for children in care homes, and the exciting artist meet ups we are currently running.
Artreach  is also in the process of creating illustrated manuals of our workshop methods that will be available digitally soon, in both Hindi and English.
If you are an artist, NGO run school, care home or really anyone who'd like to connect with us during this time, please reach out. The arts are essential today, more than ever!
Let's make things happen, innovate and create, while we all stay safe.

Glimpses of our Past Programmes:

Community Art Project, Udhbhav II  :

Avinash Karn led a four days workshop at Madhubani Literature Festival in Rajnagar, Madhubani, Bihar. On the first day, participants went for a tour of Madhubani and met local artists. They painted Madhubani paintings at the festival site and did a live demonstration session for the visitors.
Participating artists were - Maini Munda, Sanjoti Kumari and Manita Kumari from Munda Tribal community in Chandidih village, Jharkhand.

Artreach Intensive at Katkatha :

We created a mural outside Katkatha studio along with children of the neighbourhood and our visiting artist Michael! Together, children first imagined what they'd like to have on their wall, by drawing on paper and after we collectively put them on the wall - fantastic new animals, islands and many insects in between!
OUR FIRST PROJECT in 2010 was with the children of the New Delhi railway station who come daily to a Salaam Baalak Trust
contact point. ​We wanted to give their space a face lift and ‘catch their imaginations’. 
"They come up the stairs, so scared in their hearts as they see the police station, then their fear disappears as
​they see the paintings… they think, 'This is a place that will do something for children'."
​Makaan Singh, a social worker at the contact point explains how the new children at the centre reacted to Artreach's mural. 
Thank you for your support and time.
