Times of India Metro Supplements launches ‘My City. My Art.' challenge

Delhi: In celebration of World Art Day, Times of India Metro Supplements announced the launch of the ‘My City. My Art.’ Challenge, an initiative aimed at spotlighting artistic talent and reimagining cities through creative lenses. This challenge invites artists from all backgrounds to envision their cities in imaginative and captivating ways.

Actress Rituparna Sengupta, who is also an art connoisseur and will be a part of the jury, praised the initiative, saying, “As an art lover, I’ll say it’s a beautiful initiative, and I am happy to be a part of it.”

Jury member and south actress, Pranitha Subhash, said, “I believe we do not really focus on art and the artists as much as we should. I am thrilled to be part of this initiative, as I feel artists need this kind of a platform and support to showcase their creativity and thereby encourage other artists to come forward.” 

Other names, who’ll be joining Sengupta and Subhash as the jury in their respective cities, include Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash (Delhi), Raqesh Bapat (Mumbai), Dnyanada Ramtirthkar and Saurabh Gokhale (Pune), Aarohi Patel (Ahmedabad), Janani (Chennai), Samyukta Hornad (Bengaluru), and Prince Cecil (Hyderabad).

Submissions for the ‘My City. My Art.’ challenge are open till April 30, 2024. Winners will have the opportunity to see their art featured in Times of India Metro Supplements, with select pieces also printed on T-shirts to be gifted to participating celebrities. 

Sivakumar Sundaram, CEO, Times of India, said, “We have always celebrated the unique character of our cities and provided a platform to our readers to celebrate their relationship with their cities. With My City. My Art. we are launching a platform for artists to reimagine their cities through their creative imagination.”
