For the first time ever in the history of Newtown, an extraordinary painting exhibition was organized exclusively for citizens above 50yrs and kids below 15yrs, titled the Gold Age Exhibition.

The Green Studio & OM EVENTS were behind this effort, with support from Manorama Frames, to engage 2 different generations through art. Not only will this assist the elderly in overcoming depression and loneliness, but the young people will be inspired by seeing their skills displayed. This project is heavily motivated by a social concern.

More than 50 paintings of eminent and budding artists were showcased in the exhibition.

Managing Director HIDCO & Chairman NKDA Shri Debashis Sen was invited as a chief guest! He has also blessed the organizers by giving his first-ever painting – The Sunflower, to be exhibited! Professor Urmila Sen was the Prime Guest & she was overwhelmed by this new concept of the “Gold Age”.

The exhibition was also graced by internationally famous artists Shri Rajib Sur Roy, Shri Ashoke Mullick, Shri Atanu Biswas, Shri Pankaj Baishya, Shri Samar Majumder & Filmmaker Shri Sanjay Paul.

After the inauguration, cultural events were performed by kids and their mothers.

On 10th September, the major attraction was the Painting Workshop. 30 kids from an NGO named as “Parthona Mondir” participated in the kids’ workshop along with other 15 kids. The workshop was conducted by Sagarika Kundu, owner of The Green Studio.

Another workshop for the 50+ budding Artists was conducted by eminent artist Atanu Biswas.

A great initiative to motivate the young and the old alike!!
