An Art Exhibition that is all Heart – Meet the special artists behind it

Art connects across all barriers and is truly the expression of an artist’s soul. It overcomes all boundaries of languages, cultures and geographies to truly weave its magic on its audience. 

MA My Anchor Foundation and Nora Solomon Foundation have curated ‘A VIRTUAL ART EXHIBITION’ to support the talent of young differently abled artists whose work will be showcased in this unique exhibition. The youngest artist in the line-up is just eight years old!

The event will be held on 15^th May across two time slots on the Zoom platform.

These are children for whom art is a medium to express their thoughts and emotions. The line-up of artists include:
