Art Heals - Smt. Nithyakalyani Vaidyanathan

Art Heals is an initiative where different artists present their performance as an offering to the public during the lockdown initiated due to the spread of Coronavirus. Samarpana for Arts and Well Being, a not for profit organisation, started Art Heals as it truly believes in the power of art and its healing nature. The day starts with breathing exercises in the morning at 8:30 a.m, followed by chanting of Sloka-s at 9 p.m, a session of music at 12:30 p.m. and a session of dance at 6 p.m. A Madhubani painting session is also conducted on the weekends at 10 a.m. The Art Heals series is now in its fourth week.

Through these initiatives, Samarpana has been raising funds for daily wage workers, local folk artisans and migrant workers who are worst hit by the pandemic. The organisation has helped 350 families so far and pledge to continue its support to the needy.
