Art is not just a practice, but is beyond it. In fact it is a way of life. More than just a skill, it is a passion. Each work of Art is not just a mere image, but every work of art narrates a story. Art has always been a part and parcel of life and living since times known. Artists do not think like policymakers or academicians. They are driven by instincts and hence think from their heart – they think big, revolutionary and visionary ideas. This is why Art has the capability to move the society to action, thus creating significant social, cultural and political contributions. This is what makes art and artists essential and important to the society and world. With this view and attitude in mind, Hina Bhatt Art Ventures (HBAV) was born on October 8, 2019 on the auspicious day of Vijay Dashmi with a mission and vision to create, organise and present Art with a strong foundation of Research and Authenticity. The whole idea of this Art venture began in mid June,in an informal discussion over a cup of tea between Hina Bhatt, an artist /art investor from Pune and Artist/Curator Vasanth Rao who is based in Sydney, where Hina expressed her wish to do something for art and artist community. The discussion led to the birth of HBAV which began its operations keeping Pune as the base. Curating art projects being the key action plan, the agenda was to become a strong connection between Art, Artists and Society by creating relevant platforms and opportunities.
