Colours to cast away the gloom

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">BANGALORE: City''s art fraternity will wield their weapons to contribute to the tsunami relief operations along the Indian coastline. About 20 artists will come together to organise a one-day art camp on Sunday to raise funds for rehabilitation and relief operations.<br /><br />They will finish one painting each and put it up for sale at a discounted price.Sunday''s event from 10 am to 6 pm, at 156 BEML Layout, ITPL Road, is sponsored by Galerie Sara Arakkal and co-sponsored by Bhaskar Art Centre.<br /><br />For artist Yusuf Arakkal, the idea triggered off when city musicians were doing some loud thinking on holding — a charity event to raise funds for tsunami victims. A chat with his colleague S.G. Vasudev, and the fraternity got cracking. "We realise that holding an event of this magnitude should have a bigger impact than just selling our art works," says Arakkal.<br /><br />"The priority is to make sure that we raise funds for the cause. So the concessional rates," he adds.<br /><br />The participants are Azis T.M., Anuradha Nalapat, Babu Eshwar Prasad, Balan Nambiar, Bhaskar Rao, Bharathi Sagar, Chandranath Acharya, Gopinath, Gurudas Shenoy, Jayakumar, C.F. John, J.M.S. Mani, Paresh Hazra, Rekha Rao, Shanthamani, Shirley Alex Kuruvilla, Shirley Mathew, Sultana Hasan, S.G. Vasudev and Yusuf Arakkal.<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Call 51162622 for details.</span></div> </div>
