Individual Technical Sessions: With Mentor on their Art
This was an intense one-to-one interaction of each participant fellow with Jagmohan Bangani and Poonam Sharma. The individual session focused on fellow’s previous art creations, current ideas for new project, and future aspirations. These sessions cleared individual fellows’ doubts, sharpened their ideas on the layout, feedback on the kind of art they are making and what they should explore further. Relevant references, contacts and guidance was provided on the spot that could support each fellow’s individual journey. Indeed the individual sessions were exhaustive and often draining for Mentors, some even lasting up to two hours.
Evening Guest Session: With Nidhi Panta on Art Markets
Nidhi hails from Uttarakhand and was grounded in arts from Kala Kendra, Dehradun. She moved to work in Delhi Art Gallery 20 years back, gained experience in Art Markets before moving to ARTREY in Gurgaon, known for generating valuable insights on Global Art Work Auctions, market prices and trends. Currently, she is an art consultant.
Nidhi’s session dymystified the Art Markets, the fellows got to know how it works, who is buying, the nature and type of art markets, the role of Investors, collectors, galleries, exhibitions and auctions. Much of the discussion was around what sells, how to price your art work and how to leverage different agencies to make your art stand out.
The key takeaway was that the art market exists, despite some shocks, it is growing exponentially, with online and virtual galleries, lots of spaces exist to enter markets, provided one has done a good homework on one’s artwork.
