About Visual Perspectives:It is an initiative by
Vibrnz to help art enthusiasts and people in general develop an appreciation for visual arts. The visual arts include art forms such as painting, drawing, arts & crafts, photography and more. COVID had a devastating impact on this space. On a positive note, many artists and arts organizations adapted themselves to the new digital world to minimize the impact.
We are very excited to organize a series of interviews, complemented by classes, workshops and showcasing by artists across diverse genres. The series will be hosted by
Spriha Gupta, a professional artist who is excited to be part of this initiative and make an attempt to reduce the gap between the artists and the art enthusiasts.
