Annual Art Exploration :

We organise the one of its kind Small Hand Big Art’s Annual Art Exploration 2015-16 (previously called the Art Olympiad).

This is the formal process of identifying talented budding Artists across 4 categories of age groups (A: 5-8 years, B: 9-12 years, C: 13-15 years, D: 16-17 years).

The Annual Art Exploration session is conducted by the Schools within their premises on any day of their choice while the contest is open. This ensures that work is genuinely made by the children.

The School then collects the original Art Work and sends it to the organizers of Small hand Big Arts’s Annual Art Exploration, through Indian Postal Departments Speed Post Service.

The Art Work is judged by a panel of prominent judges who are luminaries in the field of Fine Art and winners in each category are declared.
