The

collections of various individuals. |
| 2. |

The nucleus of the collection of the trust is the collection
of various museum quality saris, shawls and phulkari embroideries
in the personal collection of Mrs. Amarjit Bhagwant Singh.
The
location of the gallery called The Attic is at No. 36 Regal
Buildings. Our core collection as well as other heirloom
items will be exhibited at The Attic. This space of about
1000 sq ft. will have its formal opening on 8th August 2005.
From
August onwards the Trust will organize monthly activities
which will include exhibitions, music and dance lectures
and workshops, lectures on various textile and other themes
and book launches.
In
this "space for the living arts" we hope to create
an intimate interaction between audience and artist, dancer
and spectator, musician and "rasik" creating a
cultural ferment where each appreciates the needs and art
of the other leading to sessions and evenings of quality
and enjoyment.
