Music, conversation and culture converged last weekend at an event, unveiling the master plan for the upcoming

DrishyAM Art Village

near Bengaluru. The event organised by

Art Mantram

, led by Jija Hari Singh, former DGP of Karnataka, was an evening that celebrated culture building through art, dialogue, and community spirit. The evening featured a conversation between

Bose Krishnamachari

, co-founder of Kochi Muziris Biennale, and Padma Shri Prashanth Prakash; while the guest of honour was Ricky Kej. An art auction and dinner were also part of the event, with the dinner itself being a creative endeavour – a ‘palette to palate’ concept featuring dishes inspired by famous artists and their paintings. A live performance by MoonArra was also part of the event.
