Art India Foundation through its project "Art to Schools" arranged a lecture demonstration of watercolour painting by Chitra Vaidya at Madhavrao Bhagwat High School, Vile Parle, Mumbai on Saturday 10th December 2011.

This event was organised by Art India Foundation as part of "M K Kelkar Art Initiative". Late Shri M. K. Kelkar was a well known watercolour artist from Mumbai who trained under eminent artist late Shri. S. L. Haldankar. The family of late Shri M. K. Kelkar has extended its support to the project "Art to Schools" and several events have been planned under the banner "M K Kelkar Art Initiative".

On this occasion, Mrs. Smita Lele, Principal of Madhavrao Bhagwat High School appreciated the concept and the thought behind this project and assured full support from the school for all future initiatives of Art India Foundation. Milind V. Sathe, Trustee of Art India Foundation explained the details of the project "Art to Schools" and made a presentation which included introduction of late Shri. M. K. Kelkar as well as the artist for the day Chitra Vaidya.

After a lively lecture demonstration by Chitra Vaidya which created huge interest among the students, several specific questions were raised by the students who seemed very interested in pursuing painting.

Mrs. Mohini Kelkar and Mrs. Pratibha Kelkar representing Kelkar family had a dialogue with the students. Mrs. Walawalkar, the art teacher from the school proposed a vote of thanks.
