Arts and Souls Foundation along with Kaizzen Presents Dreamsphere 2024: Celebrating Neurodiverse Artists
New Delhi : Dreamsphere 2024, a landmark event by the Arts and Souls Foundation in association with Kaizzen, is set to take place on September 1, 2024, at Le Meridien, New Delhi. The event will feature exceptional artwork created by artists on the autism spectrum and others with special needs, providing a unique perspective on creativity and expression.
This year’s Dreamsphere is especially significant as it will be graced by the presence of Mr. Shombi Sharp, the UN Resident Coordinator in India, who will serve as the Chief Guest. The event will also be honoured by the attendance of Padma Bhushan Awardees, Shri Rajeev Sethi and Dr. Harsh Mahajan as Guests of Honour. Their presence underscores the significance of inclusivity in the arts and highlights the incredible achievements of neurodiverse artists.
The event will include a diverse lineup of more than 25 artists, all of whom have made remarkable strides in their artistic journeys. Their work, ranging from abstract expressionism to vivid and emotionally resonant pieces, reflects the depth and breadth of talent within the neurodiverse community. Each artist brings a unique voice and vision, making Dreamsphere a truly inclusive and enriching experience.
“Dreamsphere 2024 embodies my vision to provide an equitable platform to neurodiverse individuals by which they can realise their full potential and lead meaningful lives. The event also underlines the concept of ”Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” i.e, one world, one family, and one future, which is deeply ingrained in our culture to nurture a supportive environment for everyone,” said Mr. Rahul Thakur, Director of Arts and Souls Foundation.
The event is supported by Kaizzen Care, the CSR wing of Kaizzen, one of India’s fastest growing integrated communications agencies. It aims to drive a positive impact among communities and encourage societal change through various programs and collaborations. Kaizzen Care has been supporting various causes related to neurodiverse children from the past three years.
“Kaizzen Care, was born out of a commitment to kindness and positivity in our everyday life, and our association with Dreamsphere 2024 is a testament to this commitment. We are proud to be a part of this noble endeavour that not only promotes talent but also helps neurodiverse children lead a dignified life through art. Arts and Souls Foundation has helped these artists find a calling, and the importance of inclusivity is important now, more than ever,” said Mr. Vineet Handa, Founder & CEO of Kaizzen.
