ART

Art for Concern is an initiative by Concern India Foundation that brings together the world of art and philanthropy. Established in 1998, the initiative was created with the vision of promoting Indian art while simultaneously supporting meaningful social development programmes across the country. Over the years, it has evolved into one of India’s most respected charity art platforms, connecting artists, collectors, galleries, and art enthusiasts through a shared purpose of giving back to society.

Through curated exhibitions, a charity auction held annually, online shows, and thematic art events, Art for Concern provides a dynamic platform for both emerging and established artists to present their work to a wider audience. The initiative has consistently encouraged young talent while also showcasing works by some of India’s most celebrated modern and contemporary artists. These exhibitions not only help young artists gain visibility and recognition but also offer collectors an opportunity to acquire meaningful works of art while contributing to a social cause.

The initiative hosts multiple exhibitions across cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, and other emerging art destinations in India. Each show  is thoughtfully curated to reflect a rich diversity of artistic styles, mediums, and cultural narratives. From contemporary paintings and sculptures to traditional and folk art forms, Art for Concern celebrates India’s vast artistic heritage while creating sustainable opportunities for artists and artisan communities.

Annual Charity Auction

One of the highlights of the initiative is the prestigious Annual Charity Auction, which has earned recognition among India’s notable art events. Supported by renowned artists, collectors, and patrons, the auction features exceptional artworks and helps raise vital funds for grassroots development programmes supported by Concern India Foundation. The proceeds contribute towards initiatives in education, healthcare, livelihood generation, and community development, positively impacting the lives of children, women, youth, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities across India.

Traditional & Folk Art

Art for Concern’s “Traditional & Folk Art” (TAFA) show celebrates India’s rich artistic heritage by showcasing indigenous art forms created by skilled artistans and master craftsmen from across the country. The exhibition aims to preserve and promote traditional Indian art practices while ensuring that the legacy, beauty, and cultural significance of these timeless art forms continue to thrive for future generations.

The show brings together a diverse collection of artworks from different regions of India, including Pichwais and Phads from Rajasthan, striking Chola bronzes from Tamil Nadu, Mata ni Pachedi from Gujarat, and the intricate Sanjhi paper art tradition. Over the years, TAFA has evolved into a landmark exhibition for art patrons and collectors seeking authentic and exceptional examples of India’s traditional art culture, while also supporting underprivileged communities through art and philanthropy.
