To encourage enthusiasm towards the Arts, Communicare Trust collaborated with Fundação Oriente, Goa to have a series of workshops surrounding the life of Goan painters, Antonio Xavier Trindade and Angela Trindade.

You can learn more about them here.

The workshop was a fun way for students to learn about the artists and also a way for teachers and schools to encourage student’s interest in the field of Arts.

We started the Art Workshops in the year of 2015.

From 2015 to 2024 we have reached to 1464 students in different schools and homes in Goa. The workshop commences with a small presentation where the students are introduced to the artists and their lives. It is then followed by various interactive games which help students to understand the types of colors, papers used, how to sketch portraits etc.

Ideally the workshop was conducted at the art gallery in Fontainhas, where their work is displayed. However, we soon understood that not all schools are able to travel to Panjim, hence, we started a travelling art gallery. The photos of the original paintings were laminated and were taken to the schools. We also took the same to the homes/institutions with whom we work closely.
