There is something soothing about art and culture that often touches our soul. Art, craft, culture, isn't entertainment. It isn't a magnificent thing that displays our magnum wealth.
The three represent life and things beyond it. It brings an enchanting tale of who we were and who we were. What happened to us over time and how has our lives changed. The uniqueness these three bring changes the way we look at life and artefacts around it.
Pablo Picasso simply said, "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off your souls."
So this weekend Entrepreneur India- Lifestyle brings you everything happening in art, craft and culture. Make a pick and experience some solace, because you deserve it.
