This is a 3-day mela, organized on the lines of the Baroda/Shantiniketan art fairs or the Kala Ghoda, Mumbai, where artists of all ranks come together to create art/craft/design products to raise funds. Daira's fund-raising objective is to support child art, for their Childrens' Fine Art Gallery.
Art Jamboree 2013 is also intended to stir the "still life" of Hyderabad and encourage a different perspective and involvement, of participants as well as art patrons, art lovers and the media.
You can participate, too, if you have fresh ideas on creating aesthetic utilitarian products that can be sold at prices of Rs. 100 to Rs. 10,000. Daira will take a commission of 33%, which includes all organizational and promotional costs. You can submit objects such as stationery, limited edition books (for children etc), transfers on textiles, table mats, coasters, scarves, decoratives, garden sculpture pieces, jewelry, tapestries, toys, masks, lamps and indoor planters. Collaborations are encouraged.
Send Daira a your category of work and a brief resume. The date of the event is set for October 2 to 4, 2013. The submission date of the art/products September 24.
