    ‘If the free society cannot help the many that are poor, it can never save the few who are rich.’ In a way Toybank attempts to prove this belief of John.F.Kennedy.

     

    Percept ART enforces this vision by bringing together a unique art show that voices this belief of Toybank. The exhibition comprises of various art works that reflect this ‘balanced and ideal world’. The art works may not be a literal narration but have been supported by significant art works like The Mother Teresa by MF Husain and also art works by artists Gopal Sharma, Devaki Singh, Avantika Mathur, Heeral Trivedi and many more artists that complement this belief in various ways. All these artwork are subtle narrations of joy.

     

    The exhibition opens on 27th September, 2013 at 7pm at the Percept Art Gallery and will continue for two weeks.

     

    Music completes the world of joy and we have specially designed musical evenings by Kenny Media. Ravi Iyer and Vasudha Sharma playing on 4th October, 7pm onwards and Luke Kenny and Suchitra Pillai playing on 11th October, 7pm onwards at the Percept Art Gallery. Toybank has organized a photography contest, results of which will be announced on 11th October. The top 3 winners will get an opportunity to meet Atul Kasbekar on the same day.

     

     Also is a fun filled art workshop for children on 2nd October, 4pm to 6pm.

     

    As said by Jesal Thacker, Curator of Percept Art, “Art in some ways is synonymous to joy. Charity shows are often just a mix of artists but we would like to make that different for TOYBANK, with a curatorial synchronization. Artists usually depict their reality of the world and amongst many such depictions the artist is reflecting a different reality – surreal, visionary, idealistic. The subject, the forms, the entire narrative transports the viewer into another world. It is these artworks/artists that we have invited, thus enforcing on the vision of Toybank. Percept art aims to raise a minimum of Rs. 10 Lakhs for Toybank. “

     

    Elaborated Harindra Singh, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Percept Limited,“We are proud to have been associated with an organization like Toybank and glad that such an initiative was taken by Percept Art for the future of the future of the nation”.
