Health. The Visual Art festival is being hosted on 15th, 16th
and 17th January, at CSI school for the Deaf in Santhome. It will be
the largest event of its kind, offering workshops, exhibitions, performances,
awareness lectures as well as ‘live art’. Catering to all age groups, it will
bring together, artists, sculptures, musicians and the public in a unique
conversation about mental health, mental health care, and the way ahead.
It is the old saying that
‘A thing of Beauty is Joy forever’. We all know how a painting, a song,
a verse or a dance, can mesmerise us. Creative art has a profound effect on our
emotions. So it comes as no surprise that Art is a well established form of expressive therapy

mental, and emotional well-being.
Hues of Blue, take this message of Art Therapy to
the people. It offers people an experience, to understand and engage with Art
in its rich and varied forms, while appreciating its therapeutic value. This
event will also help take forward the conversation around mental health by
situating it in public discourse. Visitors will get an opportunity not only to
enjoy the events but also to take part in creative work through enrolling in
various competitions as well as decorate their homes with art they can relate
and appreciate.
National award winning Artist
Viswam and Dr. Thara Srinivasan, Director of SCARF (Schizophrenia Research Foundation)

who will grace the event, are Artist JK
(Jayakumar) , Artist Manohar, Artist Arunagiri, Artist Amal Mohan and
