At the Govt College of Art and Design in Nagpur, umbrellas became canvases for a unique initiative called 'Paint the Umbrella,' held on Sunday. This event was a key activity within the ongoing 'Meghrang-2026: Samvad Pavsachi' festival, a month-long celebration of the monsoon through visual arts. Participants, including students, teachers, and professional artists, adorned plain umbrellas with monsoon-inspired imagery, poetry, and imaginative designs.
The 'Meghrang-2026' festival also features a significant group exhibition at the college art gallery. This exhibition marks the institution's diamond jubilee and showcases works by 60 artists, exploring diverse themes related to the monsoon. The displayed artworks encompass various media and artistic styles, from realistic landscapes to abstract interpretations, offering a comprehensive look at how artists perceive the rainy season.
Beyond the umbrella painting and exhibition, the festival includes workshops, demonstrations, and interactive sessions designed to connect artists and engage the public. The 'Paint the Umbrella' demonstration itself, led by Prof Sagar Hazare and Prof Sinkar, provided insights into painting techniques and conceptualization, drawing considerable interest.
