Art Community and Exhibitions in Bangalore
Art grows when we share it. From live demonstrations at Chithra Santhe to national exhibitions, I help my students step out of the studio and into the wider art world.
These are some cherished moments from the Kashmir Art Walk, an event that empowers women artists. Being part of such a supportive community and connecting with other artists is a vital part of my own journey.
Here is a live watercolor demonstration in progress at Chithrakala Parishath (CKP). Events like these are a wonderful opportunity to share techniques on capturing light and shadow with a live audience.

I am incredibly proud of my daughter, Samiksha, whose watercolor portrait of Malala was selected for the National Art Contest and Exhibition. This is a testament to the skills and confidence that students can build through dedicated practice.

About Community and Exhibitions
Beyond private lessons, I make sure my students experience the public side of art. Whether we are setting up a stall at Chithra Santhe or participating in local art walks, these moments help you move from simply practicing sketches to confidently displaying your work for others to see.
For me, teaching art is about more than just technique. It is about building a community where artists at every level—from 8-year-olds to seasoned hobbyists—can share their progress. When you see your work displayed at a public event like the 22nd Chithra Santhe in Bangalore, it changes how you view your own creative process.
Why Community Matters
Art can be solitary, but exhibitions and workshops change that. I actively participate in events like the Kashmir Art Walk because they provide an environment for #womenempoweringwomen and collaborative learning. These are the moments where students ask questions, watch live art demonstrations, and realize that their work resonates with others.
My Approach to Exhibitions
I encourage students to exhibit their work as soon as they are ready, not when they are 'perfect.' Whether it is a small showcase or a large-scale exhibition, the feedback you receive from the public is invaluable.
- Live Demonstrations: I regularly hold live sessions at Chithra Parishath (CKP) to show students how to handle light, shadow, and color in real-time.
- National Contests: We track national opportunities, just as my daughter Samiksha did with her portrait of Malala, to help students aim higher.
If you are looking for more than just a class, join our community. Whether you are learning watercolor, pencil sketching, or charcoal, you are joining a group that values sharing, feedback, and mutual support in our Bangalore studio.
