​ARTREACH  FESTIVAL Bikaner House, New Delhi
1st Edition > December 2017
2nd Edition scheduled > 2020  
​
In celebration of the power of art and the talent of all the people we work with we held a three day inclusive arts festival in December 2017. 

The festival hosted a number of workshops, interactive performances, film screenings and a multi-cuisine section. Attendance was free for all and every event had participants from our partnering NGOs. The exhibition of over 100 artworks created by children and women during Artreach's programmes was the highlight of the festival, with many finding a place in the homes of art patrons.  

The excitement and enthusiasm of all participating was palpable. With over 1500 attendees over 3 days, the Artreach Festival did justice to its promise of being a free inclusive art event focused at creating awareness and celebrating the artistic capabilities of those less privileged.
