For the Love of Art

Art-a-doodle-doo! Where would we be with out it?? Our lives would be gray, no beautifully carved temples in the south, no mogul paintings, David would still be encapsulated in stone, and tourists would have nothing to do on vacation.

So mark your calendars ladies and gents.

45 artists under one roof. For one week only. From August 29th to September 4th, the Henry Moore Gallery at the Royal College of Art in London, will present "Emerging India" a group show for up and coming artists. Focusing on new trends in the Indian art scene, the show will bring together artists from different parts of India, showcasing pieces in canvas, paper, photography, mixed media, and installations. For the fancier ones among us, you can even attend the private viewing and champagne reception on Friday August 31st, from 6-10pm.

Of course South Asian art has been around for thousands of years, but as India becomes more of a economic and political force, so does its art, music, and culture. And here's a chance to celebrate the best of the best new and fresh voices on the Indian contemporary art scene.

So work it out and get your butt over to the Royal College.
