Initiated
Art Mandai
“Art Mandai” is an ongoing annual art bazar, since 2016, with the intention of connecting ART with the public .
It is hosted at an ancient heritage building, “Mahatama Jyotiba Phule Mandai ”, sitting amongst the vegetable vendors, selling art works at affordable price. Artists sharing their 50% of proceedings for good causes.
