Many students as well as artists do not find place where art or painting can be learnt more practically and professionally.  Students of art need more care as any performing art do not limit in an enclosed space and theory. A performing art student needs a close relation or tie with a teacher for sometime. Most successful painters, it has been observed that they have learnt from their teacher or  mentor of their own choice and influenced by a particular style of schooling in their early part of life. So, we have decided we shall groom a student more practical way than art institutions do.

'Rainbow Artists and Writers Foundation.Kolkata' established in 2002, founder secretary is Albert Ashok.
'Rainbow Artists and Writers Foundation.Kolkata' is called RAW foundation, It mainly aims to bring all creative writers and artists in land and abroad together. It believes when written contents and visual contents are together, can create more impact in expression. Apart from this, artists and writers should know each other and support eachother for their creative impact and understanding.It is a basic goal. Across the border or crossing the border of countries, the time is coming when nation would embrace other cultures, defying all sorts of barriers like religious and political threats, irrespective of cast, creed, belief , superstitions.It believes,oneday, the barbarian and feudal concept of religion, and  crude political chauvinism will be eradicated. And primarily it can be done by artists and writers.

Who we are
RAW Foundation is a public non-profitable organisation formed in 2002 by Albert Ashok. He believes that Art and literature can bring a peace in mind and solve national and social dispute through expression of art and literature. So, it is essential to create a platform for the artists and writers. where they can expose their mind through words and brush and colour. The organisation is a apolitical and the Members are requested to maintain a harmony of brotherhood in the organisation.


Rawf  facilitates production, exhibition and interpretation of work by new and old artists. Volunteers are benefitted  from group session, workshops, classes on literature and art.
RAWF gives artists the space to create  works of Art and Literature, to experiment, to take risks in their expression, to meet their audiences face to face in a flexible, disciplined and supportive environment. Without it Art and literature would lose its breeding ground for experimentation, and endanger its capacity to generate the 'new'.

ourCentral issues
- bringing artists and writers together

-  increasing artists influence on the art scene
We produce an annual programme of diverse arts events including fashion, photography, literature, music, dance, theatre, art exhibitions and festivals.
