Radhika Bawa, founder of The Thursday Sketch Party, shares the journey before their exhibition

- Dr. Rupali Gore

The idea for The Thursday Sketch Party (TSP) originated as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, when Radhika Bawa was teaching watercolor workshops online.

That was the time when she noticed that her students were struggling to stay motivated and accountable in their practice, so she decided to start an accountability group to support them in their artistic journey. That was the beginning of an era, a community that has closely bonded and grows every year.

The Thursday Sketch Party soon became a space where people could come as they are, with or without experience, and explore their creativity without judgment. They are showcasing their work at Kaladalan, PL Deshpande Academy, Prabhadevi, till December 18.

Excerpts from the interview:

When and how did The Thursday Sketch Party start?
