By Artara
Artara creates immersive artistic
experiences that bring together art, culture,
place, and community.
Rooted in India and connected to Southeast Asia, Artara is interested in fostering meaningful creative collaborations through workshops, residencies, exhibitions, and artist-led gatherings.
Ranthambore Watercolour Week is one of Artara’s first initiatives, conceived as an immersive gathering for artists and learners to paint, observe, and engage deeply with place.
