Phoenix Womens Art Camp.....by Indian artist Manisha Vedpathak

Posting about the Artist Camp quite a late as I was busy packing for my travel to Rotterdam right after the camp.
Today I am posting from Rotterdam.
It was a wonderful experience while painting live at Phoenix Womens Art Camp. We were 10 artists from our city Pune. Wonderful arrangement by IGA Galleria and the Phoenix mall. Had fun painting as well as interacting with viewers passing by. We painted 2 canvases. I chose African theme. I was surprised by myself with stamina specially with the recently diagnosed Rheumatoid.

Participation in an Artist Camp......by Indian artist Manisha Vedpathak

I have been invited for an Artist Camp in Phoenix market city which is a mall in my city Pune.
This camp is organised by IGA Galleria which is a design firm from Pune. Here is what they say about this camp:
IGA Galleria is collaborating with Phoenix Market City Mall to host 'Phoenix Women’s Art Camp' that will see ten Pune-based women artists paint artworks at the mall between 6th and 10th March 2019. The aim of 'Phoenix Women's Art Camp' is to bring art and artists out from studios and galleries to a public space that is visited by hundreds of people, of different age-groups and professions, each day. The initiative will thus bring art and the process of painting to mall goers who can watch the artists mix colours, render brush strokes and create compositions before their eyes. Viewers may also interact with artists about the work and process.



6th from right is me with some of  the fantastic artists from my city Pune. Hoping to have lot of fun painting with these ladies.
