Art Spectrum Awards: South Asia (ASA:SA)

29 January 2019:  Serendipity Arts Foundation and MOJARTO in collaboration with NDTV presents the 2nd Art Spectrum Awards: South Asia (ASA:SA) on 2 February 2019.

The ASA:SA award aims to reward and encourage creative, transformational initiatives that are making tangible differences to the future of the arts in South Asia promoting growth and via a platform for the arts that supports and leads the interdisciplinary artistic movement in India.


The awards reflect the Serendipity Arts Foundation's commitment and continual support of arts development in India. Elaborating further Mr. Sunil Kant Munjal, Founder and Chairman, Serendipity Arts Foundation said, “The Serendipity Arts Foundation is committed to creating sustainability in the Arts and spread awareness of the rich cultural heritage of India by making art and culture and our outreach platforms as inclusive as possible. To realize this commitment the process of recognition plays a great role and adds impetus to the efforts of these brilliant and young artists across various disciples. The Arts Spectrum Awards: South Asia has been conceptualized to do just that and recognize work of progressive and unique artistic caliber. I wish the very best of luck to all the nominees of the different categories at the 2nd annual Art Spectrum Awards.”    


Honouring individuals for their unique aesthetic and artistic contributions to the cultural landscape, nominees and winners are selected by an eminent panel of artists, collectors, cultural policy makers, arts institutions, arts patrons and disciplinary specialists. The award aims to cultivate India’s artistic development and cultural evolution by highlighting the most significant and innovative projects over the previous year’s art calendar, with an emphasis on organisations and individuals that driving social and public engagement across disciplines.


Prominent thespian and esteemed jury member Mr. Feisal Alkazi said, We are in that point in history where regional boundaries are blurring with our ability to transcend the cultural barriers. South Asia in particular as a region has had a similar cultural mosaic with synchronized sensibilities and this should be unified for attaining long standing relationships and sustainable practices. ASA:SA in that sense plays the role of a quintessential unifier that is taking baby steps in weaving together the  cultural ethos of the region.”
