Speaking on the occasion, Kaushik Sinha, Chairman, Co-founder & Director CSA, said “Art is something which comes from within. But in today's competitive world, not everyone gets a good platform to showcase their talents. But Chhaya School of Art has made this a reality by providing budding artists with a 'stage' where they can learn and also showcase their creativity to people.”
Mrs Praveen Sinha, Co-founder, CSA said, "The students of Chhaya School of Art have competed at the state, national & the international level. Students have displayed their artworks in the exhibition, thereby providing them with the right exposure. I am happy to state that today the Chhaya school of Art has 1670 affiliated centers all over India & plans to open more internationally."
A highlight of the exhibition's opening day was that under the initiative of Chhaya School of Art to help underprivileged children - 40 young artists also distributed books & stationery items among needy students from the amount collected out of their own pocket money.
In the exhibition, one gets a glimpse of a blend of superior artistic skills and creativity of young painters. The showcase presented a pretty picture & looked like some festival of art with beautiful works making the environment colourful. Mrs Praveen Sinha, Co-founder, CSA said, "The students of Chhaya School of Art have competed at the state, national & the international level. Students have displayed their artworks in the exhibition, thereby providing them with the right exposure.
