Ethereal and Eternal Himalayas
‘Eternal and Ethereal Himalayas’ is a collaborative initiative between ICONART Gallery and Art For Causes to raise funds for the third round of spinal surgery for a young boy from Rajasthan. Art for Causes has been supporting the medical expenses of this child as the entire savings of his parents have been wiped out in his treatment . Distinguished photographer Satyaprasad Yachendra, who has been shooting in the Himalayas for decades has very graciously joined our fundraising efforts. Participating artists take inspiration from his photographs and interpret them in their unique styles in different medias. An exhibition will be held in January 2025 at ICONART Gallery and a pdf brochure will be widely circulated.
