As part of their arts-in-education program, Sandbox Collective presents ArtTripping, featuring day-long field trips to meet artists and visit art spaces. The first trip was to Nrityagram in Hesarghatta.The second in the series will feature a very special excursion to the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) Bengaluru, India’s premium museum for Indian art.
Nestled in a beautiful garden spanning sprawling acres in the heart of the city, the museum houses traditional and contemporary Indian art works inside a restored beautiful 100 -year-old heritage mansion.
Sandbox has curated an exhilarating, fun, experiential trip at the museum for children to have a memorable day spent soaking in the world of traditional and contemporary Indian art with games and exercises thrown in-to make the visit interactive, interesting and fun.
The day-trip includes a special guided gallery and sculpture walk, art sessions in the galleries, story-telling and theatre fun, a special exhibition centered on cricket followed by a series of internationally acclaimed animation short films. It also includes a picnic lunch under the magnificent old trees especially catered for us by Anju’s Cafe@NGMA.
