Music, conversation and culture converged last weekend at an event, unveiling the master plan for the upcoming DrishyAM Art Village near Bengaluru. The event organised by Art Mantram, led by Jija Hari Singh, former DGP of Karnataka, was an evening that celebrated culture building through art, dialogue, and community spirit. The evening featured a conversation between Bose Krishnamachari, co-founder of Kochi Muziris Biennale, and Padma Shri Prashanth Prakash; while the guest of honour was Ricky Kej. An art auction and dinner were also part of the event, with the dinner itself being a creative endeavour – a ‘palette to palate’ concept featuring dishes inspired by famous artists and their paintings. A live performance by MoonArra was also part of the event.
