Please note the times of the Sunset Art Programme @ Kala Academy are
changed to 5-6.30 PM. Children of all ages are invited to participate at
Kala Academy Jetty on January 30th. Free art supplies (easels, paper,
brushes and paints) will be provided to all. This session will showcase
Harshada Kerkar, one of Goa's most talented artists.
Harshada Kerkar's father and brother are also among the best-regarded
artists of Goa. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in Painting
from SNDT University, Mumbai, and has many solo and group exhibitions to
her credit.
The Sunset Art Programme has been established to encourage the free
expression of artistic creativity in the children of Goa. Each week
features a different artist. Member-Secretary of Kala Academy, Dr.
Pandurang Phaldesai stated that the Sunset Art Programme has been
initiated for 6 Sunday sesssions, but is likely to be continued.
The inaugural of the Sunset Art Programme at Kala Academy Jetty on
January 23 featured Norman Tagore. The Panjim-based artist spoke to the
children about his influences, and a large crowd gathered around his
easel as he swiftly executed a landscape in watercolours of the scene
surrounding the jetty. The children then followed his example with great
enthusiasm, and many adults also felt inspired to paint when easels
became available.
