Partner a Master | Artist Mentor Program

Partner a Master: Artist-Mentor Program is an initiative that explores the notion of creativity as applied imagination for children in private and public schools. Conceived as an annual project by the Art1st Foundation and the Mohile Parikh Center in Mumbai and New Delhi, this entails introducing children to artist studios as spaces of imaginative learning, discovery and transformative thinking. Employing art as a pedagogical tool, this initiative emphasizes on visual literacy, collective learning, and the role of the arts in cognitive processes and creative competencies.
