Overview of the Team:
Art for Akanksha’s mission is to provide a powerful art education for children within as well as beyond the Akanksha network, supporting and demonstrating the belief that art empowers. A powerful art education enables children to EXPRESS themselves by helping them LEARN a visual language to DISCOVER, CREATE and TELL their stories.

Since its inception in 1996, the visual arts program at Akanksha has been seen as an essential part of education for children. Art at Akanksha is not a co-curricular, an extra curricular. It is considered as crucial a part of a student's education as Math or Science or Language, building invaluable knowledge, skills and values that go beyond the art class.

Having run an art program in the organisation since 1996, the team at Akanksha has built an expertise around teaching it and an understanding of what it can do for children. We feel poised and ready to take art to organisations and schools beyond the students we directly serve. We believe that the partnerships we engage in need to be customized to a high degree for each school,



each organisation, for it to be effective.
