Udaipur, Rajasthan — Astitva – National Stone Sculpture Camp concluded successfully, celebrating artistic expression and collaboration, with its valedictory ceremony graced by Pragya Kevalramani and Gaurav Shrivastav.
The event highlighted the growing impact and vision of the organiser- Hina Bhatt Art Ventures, which continues to play a significant role in supporting and promoting artists across India. Astitva brought together a diverse group of artists, providing a platform for creative exchange and meaningful engagement.
Senior artist Parmod Mann, visiting Udaipur after many years—his first visit being in 1988—expressed his happiness at returning and appreciated the invitation extended by Hina Bhatt Art Ventures.
The camp was also noted for its inclusive approach. Sculptors Renubala and Snehlata Prasad welcomed the participation of women, emphasizing that such opportunities are often limited in stone sculpture camps.
Senior sculptor Madhukar Wanjhari remarked that the country needs “two to three more organisations like Hina Bhatt Art Ventures,” noting that such efforts would contribute to a healthier Indian art market.
The sculptures created during the camp will become part of the upcoming HBAV Art Centre in Pune, reflecting a long-term vision of creating sustainable platforms for artists.
Through initiatives like Astitva, Hina Bhatt Art Ventures continues to strengthen the art ecosystem with a focus on inclusivity, professionalism, and national outreach.
The collection of sculptures will be open for public viewing at Takhman 28, Udaipur, throughout the month of June and July
