Ekal IndiArt 2021 

Connecting art ambassadors from all over the United States for the second year, Ekal IndiArt organized a series of online art workshops between August to November of 2021. The workshops covered a wide range of art forms, including calligraphy, Mandana, one-stroke painting, stippling, Madhubani, coffee painting, mandala, glass painting, mixed-media, and many more. For the first time, IndiArt presented sculpting and origami workshops as well! Participants of all ages, from young kids to adults, enjoyed these hands-on workshops and explored their creativity. IndiArt allows everyone to discover their inner artist, find peace and joy through art, and support a noble cause. IndiArt’s motto says it best: Create, Inspire, Empower.

In collaboration with Khula Aasmaan, a non-profit organization that promotes art, IndiArt 2021 also held an art competition for various age groups where participants could paint in any medium of their choice. Congratulations to all participants and winners of this competition!
