CHARTY DUGDALE / Founder & Managing Trustee
mt.artreach@gmail.com Charty started Artreach after seeing the impact a simple art engagement could have on the lives of homeless children in the New Delhi station. She was also inspired by her work with Triangle Arts Trust and Youthreach, for whom she co-edited 'If I were rain,' an acclaimed hardback book about the lives of street and slum children. Now based in the UK after 14 years in Delhi, Charty remains involved in Artreach operations, visiting India often. She is hugely proud of the team and inspired by what they make happen.

ANARYA / Programme Officer
artreach.india@gmail.com Anarya is trained as a visual artist, illustrator and art educator. She received her MA in Visual Arts from Ambedkar University Delhi and BFA in Painting from Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan. Her career as an art educator began after leading workshops with Artreach India in 2015. Since then she has facilitated many art workshops and taught art at private schools in Delhi. For Anarya it is inspiring to see how art becomes a powerful tool for children coming from difficult backgrounds, who have so much potential but no access to creative education. Seeing how a simple act of drawing on paper without fear can create so much confidence in a child is magical.
