The Kala Foundation
There has long been a global market for Indian paintings, but interest in Indian art has lagged in the US. To bring awareness about different styles of Indian Folk Paintings, The Kala Foundation is established as a new platform to showcase the paintings and make them more accessible to an international market. The foundation consists of a website, mobile app, exhibit with editorial books, and products that help bridge the gap and connect these paintings to a larger audience.
The Kala Foundation Art Appreciation by Palak Bhatt has been highlighted as an innovative example of communication design by the A' Design Awards. The Kala Foundation Art Appreciation earned the Silver A' Design Award in Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design in 2021. The A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade which celebrates excellent design of logos, posters, infographics, brochures, packaging designs, business cards, book covers, billboards and more.
