Glimpses of our Ongoing Programmes:
Volunteer Residency at Katkatha :Over the past weekend 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!
Community Art Project, Udhbhav II :Last month, artist 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. |
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.
