Digital Art Centre project is the flagship project of ABAI supported by Government of Karnataka and a unique project aimed at skill development in tier 1/2 cities and rural Karnataka. The immensely talented artists are exposed to digital technologies and trained on graphics and animation through labs set up in their campus with their trainers being trained to handle classes for students.
“ABAI will launch MENTOR 360, a program which will help all the DAC colleges to excel and explore capabilities and opportunities within the students. This program involves a dedicated animation studio taking up the responsibility in mentoring four to five DACs in Karnataka and handholding them and helping in their overall progress along with our program. Key responsibilities of studios will be conducting workshops and special training, guiding, mentoring and monitoring, identifying good talents, career counselling and reporting the progress to ABAI”, says ABAI vice president Ganesh Papanna.
This skill Karnataka event will provide exposure to digital means and help digitalisation of the fine art colleges to keep up with the advancements in digital art trends and technology.
The committee takes great pleasure in inviting the interested audience to the Digital Art Symposium 2019, which will be held on 13 April 2019 at NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru.
