The beginning of Jaipur Art Summit

Jaipur, the pink city of India rose suddenly to host another JLF type festival in November this year and plans have been given green signals to go ahead to form committees and subcommittees to take their respective responsibilities for welcoming the guests in the beginning and seeing them off at the end.

Earlier one such national art event was organized in the last week of Dec 2012 by some renowned artists of the country and the state  which proved to be a success. In the same line this summit's objective is to generate exchanges between different voices and discuss a variety of issues. The summit has a support of Lalit Kala Academy, as  the Government  partner.

The chair person of academy explained “The Summit is taking shape, and is just around the corner. The persons responsible for selecting the names of the international guests and the speakers in the program are finalizing the names and outlines of the event's five-day activities, which promise to be a celebration and exchange of ideas and creative diversity in the style and format from miniature paintngs to art installations and other contemporary art formats. Summit delegates will have the opportunity to experience the cultural sensibility of the special events during  workshop sessions.

It was the artistic vision of Timmi Kumar, herself an alumni of JJ School of art who also chairs the dream project of summit said “Diversity is essential in international  dialogue. The more diverse a group is the better prepared it is to face new challenge in the relm of art and culture. The principle of art diversity generates a truly creative drive.”

The program will highlight contemporary and traditional Indian cultural expressions, as well as international trends in modern art. After discussing with many artists in details were present on the occasion it has been given to understand that” JAS (Jaipur Art Summit) is committed to fostering creativity and the imagination in the life and mission of the art lovers of the state by exhorting artists to pursue  the artistic movement in the city. It is not about establishing another arts organization, but rather acting as a catalyst to help form artists to reform culture. Artists are encouraged to support one another in the exploration of the art  and to focus areas of the academia and the market place”. The intention is for the growth of partnerships and shared resources to better serve one another as we seek to respond to renewal and restoration of the arts.
