By donating the proceeds from the sale of their artworks, a group of 67 acclaimed artists have come together to raise funds for the rehabilitation of Uttarakhand flash flood victims and their families.
'Sahanubhuti', the ongoing exhibition at Emami Chisel Art, has veterans like Jogen Chowdhury, Suvaprasanna, Shipra Bhattacharya, Sanatan Dinda, Samir Aich, Sunil Das and Sanjay Bhattacharyya participating. The works include acrylic on canvas, watercolour and charcoal on paper, sculptures in bronze and wood.
Priced within Rs 1 lakh, the artworks are on display till August 31. "Art cannot remain aloof from what is happening around. The helplessness of the victims of Uttarakhand came as a clarion call for us at Emami Chisel Art to chip in and do something for their rehabilitation," said Richa Agarwal of Emami Chisel Art.
Besides this, the Emami Group through their charitable trust, Emami Foundation, has created a relief fund corpus of Rs 1 crore initially to carry out the immediate relief operations.
