Art@Cafe, An Art Fair initiative in collaboration with Frespresso Café is one of a kind art exhibition, a first of its kind in the heart of Kolkata, the city that signifies art itself.
Art has the capability of touching lives in such ways that there
remains no inequality amoung us . It creates a world where one gets to experience trance like effect, thus uniting the senses towards a peaceful existence.
Art@Cafe is
one of kind initiative taken by Curator Sufia Khatoon in association with Frespresso Café in Kolkata where
art will be made assessable to all.
Sufia Khatoon, Curator of Art Fair felt after organizing
almost three seasons of art exhibitions in Kolkata that there was a need of
associating with as many like minded people to bring art to all. Art is
sometimes believed to be really expensive which some artworks are worth quoting for. This is
sometimes a drawback for the artists so she felt to sell artworks in the price
range starting from 500rs to 5000rs tapping the elites and the art lovers alike.
With a will to promote those unseen artists who have the
passion for experimenting and deserve to be appreciated and supported through
this endeavor, Frespresso generously supported this unique exhibition to highlight the urge for buying art pieces by people belonging to all strata of society thus allowing Art Fair artists to experiment and achieve expression of thoughts.
Frespresso was started keeping in mind the love for food and the café culture in Kolkata in minto park crossing a year back. Buzzing with life, this place is just
right for all reasons…their
