Programs

  • Inukshuk Workshop

    To celebrate Canada Day on June 26, 2013, Artscapes hosted an Inukshuk crafting workshop at the Consulate General of Canada. Inukshuk, derived from the Inuit language, translates to "in the likeness of a human" and refers to stone monuments traditionally employed by the Inuit for communication and survival.

    This event took Inukshuk to a whole new level by incorporating colourful ice slabs. The dedicated artists in participation skillfully transformed these ice slabs into remarkable works of art, imbuing a fresh and creative dimension to the concept of Inukshuk.

This exhibition provides a platform for women to express their innermost sentiments through art, receive feedback from esteemed jurors, and even gain financial recognition. It also mirrors the evolving art scene, showcasing new techniques and offering a glimpse into how women artists perceive their world and give voice to their inner narratives.

This event transcended the boundaries of mere colourful artworks or eye-catching photo frames; it attracted the luminaries of Chandigarh's social circle.

    Chief guest Justice Ajay Tewari inaugurated this noteworthy occasion, with Scot Slessor, the consul general of Canada, gracing it as the guest of honour. "Confluence" offered a rich tapestry of paintings and photographs, signifying its persistent effort to bridge the divide between artists and art aficionados. It was a manifestation of the philosophy that art knows no boundaries and can unite creative minds across the globe, fostering a shared appreciation for artistic expressions.
