Homegrown Luxury Boutique hotel group jüSTa Hotels & Resorts will host the 5thedition of its international art residency ‘Chitrashaala’ at the jüSTa Muktheshwar Retreat and Spa from 2nd to 8thFebruary. A total of 52 artists, 22 from India and 30 international artists, who are known for their unique cultural art, contemporary designs and surrealism, will participate in Chitrashaala 2023, launched in the year 2015.
Chitrashaala is a joint initiative of jüSTa Hotels & Resorts and fashion designer Deepika Govind that endeavors to build a credible cultural dialog among artists from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds through an enriching reciprocation of artistic ideas. Over the years, eminent artists from 17 countries such as the USA, Poland, Spain, Morocco, Bhutan, Egypt, Ireland, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan and Thailand have participated in various editions of Chitrashaala .
Over the years, Chitrashaala has emerged as a creative space where artists, critics, writers and the local populace come together to create, discuss, live and breathe art. It is all about the dialogue and building bridges in a world which, unfortunately, seems to focus more on discord than accord. Ultimately, it is a week-long retreat from the cares of the world in which to create beauty, make lasting friendships and draw inspiration from the amazing sights this country has to offer. This year, artists from 11 countries, namely the USA, Germany, Poland, Egypt, Thailand, Norway, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Tunisia, Algeria and Jordan, will participate in Chitrashaala 2023. The domestic artists would be coming from Kolkata, Surat, Vadodara, Mumbai, Nagpur and Ahmedabad.
