'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'.
