Chandigarh 27th September:- It’s time to let efforts flow where they need to! India’s
North-East region has been heavily hit by floods throughout the monsoon, and
the good people at #SOCIAL have stepped in, to raise funds for rebuilding the
region. #SocialSupports: ARTery -a silent art auction, with all proceeds going
to support the Nagaland Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
While bigger cities get attention every season for the
difficulties faced by their residents, the states in the North-East receive
much lesser attention. In light of this, #SOCIAL has initiated #ARTery - so as
to provide coordinated relief from across the five cities (that they’re present
in) to every afflicted area of the country via art, for a greater cause.
Shobita Kadan, Director - Marketing & Strategy, Impresario
Handmade Restaurants, said that SOCIAL is an integral part of the cultural
landscape of the young urban consumer. "Both art and contributing to the
greater good are things that matter to them - so why not bring both into one
space? We wanted to provide a platform for artists who wished to contribute to
the rehabilitations through their creations.
Each stellar piece for the auction has been donated by
independent Indian artists from across the country. The auction will kick-off
with a live art piece on 27th September, where the artists will speak to the
audience about their contribution and field questions from those in attendance.
The art itself will be displayed at Sector 7 Social (right here in
Chandigarh!), and for a minimum price - you can drop by anytime, to make your
own bid from the 27th September the 3rd October.
So if you want to see how art can (literally) change the world,
swing by #SOCIAL to pick your very own piece and contribute for the greater
good, while you’re at it.
