Kolkata Centre for Creativity at Anandapur turned into a cauldron of creative and artistic expression with AMI Arts Festival 2023 in association with The Telegraph. The 10-day extravaganza supported by Emami CSR, held last month, filled the air with a creative spirit and engaged the city in a slew of events that included discussions on topics that almost sparked a heated debate, workshops that brought people closer to art practices that otherwise remain confined to artisans, and musical performances that celebrated the magnanimity of performing arts. FootPrint Film Festival in partnership with Peninsula Studio showcased films by young filmmakers apart from engaging film enthusiasts with a digital filmmaking workshop by Nandan Saxena.
Richa Agarwal, chairperson, Kolkata Centre for Creativity, said: “We are thrilled to inaugurate the fourth edition of the AMI Arts Festival, aiming to create a platform that celebrates the mosaic of artistic traditions and talents while promoting cultural harmony and making art accessible to everyone. This year, the festival will feature the remarkable artworks of talented art students from various art colleges across West Bengal. The chosen artworks will be on display, providing these emerging artists with a platform to connect with esteemed veterans from the art world.”
