Arty Hearty Retreats (AHR)
A series of art retreats organised by Hope Society Noids as a part of its ‘Art for a Cause Initiative’, AHR comprises a medley of artistic/creative workshops, talks, exhibitions, ranging from painting and sculpture to storytelling, writing and music.
Each retreat is a journey of learning, unlearning and growing your art with an art mentor in the lap of Himalayas.
These art retreats are meticulously curated by renowned artists of India, for the art students, beginners and amateur artists, art lovers, art enthusiasts, art explorers, hobby artists, school children (IX-XII), corporate professionals with inclination towards art.
Our aim is to create an exclusive creative space for senior and beginner artists, hobby artists and art lovers in various domains to come together, learn and create and discover their inner self.
Funds raised from the retreats will be dedicated towards empowerment and upliftment of less privileged art students and supporting artists in their endeavours through scholarships, aids, and creative opportunities. We endeavour to promote local art, artists and artisans of India and raise awareness about the rich cultural and artistic legacy of India.
