The Cause

Arts for India has been established with a number of specific aims to support underprivileged young artists in India.

While several philanthropic organizations are working towards education for poor Indian children, most of them are focused on providing basic school level education.

Arts for India lifts disadvantaged young Indian teenagers out of poverty through education in Art, Fashion and Cinema at the college level. Beyond that, they support these students, enabling them to make their contribution to the world of Art, Fashion and Cinema at a global level.

Arts for India runs a 4-year Scholarship Programme, where the donor/sponsor gets the opportunity to sponsor one needy student artist at the International Institute of Fine Arts (IIFA), India. The sponsor is kept in constant touch with the adopted student and at the end of the four years, the student presents four of their works to the sponsor as a token of appreciation and gratitude. We want to play our part in equipping India’s deserving artists of the future.
