BeBook Charity Art Auction at Goa Marriot Hotel
Invite: http://bit.ly/BebookCharityArtAuction2011
With 44 Goa based artists putting up their works for auction on the 15th
of March at the Marriott Hotel in Panjim, the Bebook Charity Art Auction
promises to be a first in many ways. Angira Arya, an experienced
auctioneer from Mumbai is flying down to ensure that the auction will
not only go off smoothly, but be an exciting affair.
Bebook is a project of Tara Trust, a registered charitable organization,
and aims at taking books, art and craft to the underprivileged children
in Goa. Currently, the Bebook Mobile library project is working in 7
locations spread over southern and northern Goa. Whether it is
orphanages, homes for street children or differently abled children, the
mission of this project is clearly to stimulate learning and creativity
in these children. The mainstay of Bebook is the volunteers, who have
managed to get this project on the road without waiting for the funds
that would be required to start such a project. However to sustain the
project and to grow, Bebook now requires funding and therefore the Art
Auction.
The artists who have given their work for the auction include senior
artists like Vamona Navelcar, Antonio E Costa and Sadguru Chendvankar.
Established artists like Subodh Kerkar, Yolanda Sousa, Theodore
Mesquita, Querozito De Souza, Rajeshree Thakker, Rajendra Usapkar, Sonia
Rodrigues Sabharwal, Viraj Naik, Apurva Kulkarni and Pradeep Naik are
just some names of those participating in the auction. Young and
upcoming artists like Karishma De Souza, N. Kanhaiya, Aadhi Vishal and
many others have also contributed their paintings.
The auction is being hosted by the Marriott Hotel who are the main
sponsors of the event. Pernod-Ricard India, Centrum Publishers and
Kingfisher Airlines are the co-sponsors. For online viewing of the
catalogue, the Bangalore based artflute.com has provided the support.
