It now counts over 300 works from 90 participating artists – 60 from Auroville – making this 4 th year our biggest so far! And our calendar of fundraising events continues to expand as well. We are grateful for the generosity of the artists and the events presenters. Our site: artforland.in

Or browse the works by artist or media via our online gallery at artforland.in. Click on a photo for more information about the work and the artist. With another click you can ask a question or reserve a work via the reservation form that will appear. Artwork reservations will be held for 10 days until your donation is received. Donations can be made to ART FOR LAND by check or bank transfer or online using the ACRES FOR AUROVILLE button at https://donations.auroville.com/ Tax deductions are available for Indian donors and via certain AVI Centers. Shipping of works by Unity Pavilion is unfortunately not possible but you can designate a friend in Auroville to pick up your artwork on your behalf.
