Spreading Art, Design and ‘Global Love’

On February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, Indixia, a “unique alliance between international supporters from the worlds of Fine Art, Design, Fashion, Cinema and Philanthropy, to support global non-profit initiatives,” organized a love-themed exhibition in Chelsea’s Sundaram Tagore Gallery.

The beautiful hand-embroidered shawls and scarves crafted by the women there were auctioned off during the event in order to raise money to expand these centers.

The 2020 GLOBAL LOVE event supports the following non-profit organizations:

INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FINE ARTS - IIFA

Opp. State Bank of India (Main Branch), Modinagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh 201204, India

IIFA is exceptional as a private solution to chronic under-funding of arts education in India. Unrivaled in India in its breadth of teaching of the Fine Arts: Painting, Sculpture, Design, Photography as well as Textiles, Fashion, Film, 3-D Animation, and Television studies.

IIFA Scholarship Program:

Dedicated 4-year merit based scholarships enable underprivileged students to attend IIFA. This vital program provides access to education, and an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. For many young women this offers an escape from arranged marriages, and other pressing issues of gender inequality.

Supporting candidates in need of scholarship

Several students at IIFA require financial assistance for the rest of the two years of their BFA course. They have received AFI support from sponsors only for the first two years. In January a new group of scholarship candidates will be announced. INDIXIA will provide 2 and 4 year scholarships to needy students.
