The artists are also delighted to be part of this premium show. Artist Anupam Sud, says, “What really tugs at my heart is that art is being used to raise funds for those in need.” The organisers say they are happy to achieve more than just one purpose through this event. Anjana Khanna, head, Art for Concern, says, “The purpose of this exhibition is two-fold — one, it is an endeavour to raise funds to support the underprivileged, and presents the best of art.”
