Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF), the CSR arm of Hyundai Motor India, felicitated 25 artists and ten art collectives at the inaugural exhibition of its ‘Art for Hope 2023’ programme.
All grantees received a cumulative grant of INR 40 lakh. The selected entries included stone carvings, photography, paintings, sculptures, installations, and mixed media works that were innovative and thought-provoking.
Along with providing a platform for artists to elevate their art practices through a financial grant, the programme is also a catalyst for dialogue, collaboration and innovation through arts.
