Response to invitation

As a homage to Sri. Pattabhirama Reddy, who guided our organisation since its formation earlier as one of our founding directors, and later as our President, a Southern Regional Artist Camp was jointly organised by the Concerned for Working Children (CWC) and the Artist Forum, Udupi in August 2007.

Most of the paintings in this exhibition are outcomes of this camp held at Namma Bhoomi, CWC’s Regional Resource Centre in Kundapur Taluk, Karnataka.

The paintings on display include works of Sri. S.G. Vasudev, Sri. J.M.S. Mani, Sri. Sathyapal, Sri. Ramesh Rao, Sri. Ajaya Kumar, Smt. Ponmani Thomas, Sri. Permude Mohan Kumar and Sri. Purushotham Adve. During the Camp, these renowned artists also guided the painting process of children of Namma Bhoomi and 4 paintings by children were  also on display at the Exhibition held on 30th Sept 2007 at time and Space Gallery. 

The entire sales proceeds from this programme was a contribution to the work of ‘the Concerned for Working Children’, a national private development organisation (www.workingchild.org).

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the artists who have wholeheartedly contributed their works of art to support our cause.

We also express our sincere thanks to Smt. Suma Ponnamma for joining us to organise this exhibition and Smt. Renu George of the Time and Space Gallery for Contemporary Art who has generously offered the space for this exhibition.

Our sincere thanks to all the patrons who graced the occasion and extended their helping hands to the under privileged children.

With best wishes

Team CWC
