Partner
Put your name on the work, not beside it.
Supporting a young artist in India is unusually cheap and unusually visible. There is no crowded market of brands doing this, because the structure to do it has not existed. It does now.
For brands & corporates
Underwrite an edition.
A title or category sponsor underwrites a month of the magazine — four issues, twenty features, and the photography that makes them. Your name appears on the edition and in every issue inside it. Editorial stays ours: no sponsor sees a story before publication, and no sponsor chooses an artist.
On-page advertising is available separately — banners, roadblocks, static and video — and everything paid for is labelled as paid for.
CSR partnership
A programme with a count at the end of it.
Artist welfare, materials grants, and paid commissions for students, run as a defined programme with named beneficiaries and an annual report you can put in front of a board.
The Foundation is registered under section 12A and approved under section 80G. Tell us what your CSR policy sets out to do, and we will shape a programme around it — then share the Foundation’s registration documents with your CSR team so the paperwork moves as quickly as the conversation.
Colleges & faculty
It costs a college nothing.
A partnership gives your students a national platform, a route to income while they are still studying, and a permanent published record of their work. Your faculty sit on the selection panel and are featured in the magazine themselves.
Four seats to a panel: two faculty, one alumnus in practice, and one person from the trade — a gallerist, curator or designer.
The audience
Small, specific, and impossible to buy anywhere else.
Visual art students across India, their faculty, the colleges they study at, and the collectors, curators and designers who read us to see what is coming. Complimentary access is extended to corporate leadership teams.
We publish our reach honestly, including when it is small. So far, 135 artists from 22 states and union territories have sent us 778 works.
Where the line is
What a sponsor gets, and what a sponsor does not.
Gets
A name on an edition or an issue, in the places we have agreed, and the audience's attention. Advertising space, bought and labelled as advertising.
Does not get
No sponsor sees a story before publication. No sponsor chooses an artist, or vetoes one. No sponsor is shown a list of artists under consideration.
