New Delhi, 30th Sept: The three-day ‘Vriddhi – Group Art Exhibition Season-4’, organised by the Naman Art Foundation, concluded successfully at the Civil Services Officers’ Institute on Vinay Marg in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi.
Held from September 26 to 28, the exhibition attracted art enthusiasts and showcased more than 100 artworks by selected artists from across the country. The event was organised under the leadership of Sarita Naman, Founder of Naman Art Foundation, with the stated objective of providing a national platform to talented artists who often lack access to major exhibition spaces.
According to the organisers, around 60 per cent of the participating artists belonged to economically weaker sections. The exhibition also featured works by differently-abled artists, bringing together diverse artistic voices on a common platform.
Over 100 artworks displayed
The exhibition presented works by more than 20 selected artists, with the organisers also stating that over 30 artists were associated with the larger showcase. The artworks covered varied themes, including spirituality, devotion and nature.
Several paintings inspired by Bhakti traditions drew visitors’ attention. Works depicting nature also emerged as a notable attraction, including a painting featuring a kumudini flower covered with droplets of water, created by senior artist Sarita Naman.
The exhibition offered visitors an opportunity to engage with works rooted in personal experiences, cultural themes and observations of nature.

At the conclusion of the exhibition, Sarita Naman thanked the participating artists, guests and visitors for their support and said the Naman Art Foundation would continue its efforts to promote talented artists from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
