Artscapes announced The Annual Women Artists Contemporary Art Exhibition, an exhibition which brings together women artists from across India, prominent art critics and leading voices in the art world. The exhibitions are held in association with Panjab University. Women from every nook and corner of the nation and world participate in this exhibition every year. Many women from states like Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, West Bengal and Delhi have bagged prizes.
The participants, judged by a two-tier jury, can win cash awards in both professional and student categories. The exhibition features a total of eight cash awards, with Rs 50,000, Rs 45,000, Rs 40,000, and Rs 35,000 in the professional category, and Rs 25,000 and Rs 20,000 (2 each) for outstanding submissions in the student category. The exhibition encompasses diverse mediums such as painting, printmaking, sculpture, drawing and photography.
Earlier, one of the exhibitions received an exhibit from a lady who had not stepped out of Kadappa, Andhra Pradesh. For the first time she travelled to Chandigarh and was overwhelmed that her exhibit got the first prize. This is what Artscapes has been striving to do, that is providing a platform to amateur as well as professional artists. Another woman namely Varsha Badal bagged 2nd prize in one of the exhibitions, who is differently abled and is unable to speak or hear, but her works spoke volumes about her creative talent at the exhibition.
