Artists' Forum NITK

We are Artists’ Forum, NITK: a non-exclusive club of students across all years and branches with a shared love for art. We celebrate art by way of sanding thermocol and mixing paint. We collaborate by way of painting walls and decorating halls. Most importantly, we are a family.To commemorate NITK’s fests, Engineer and Incident, we decorate the entrance to the main building of NITK to reflect the theme for the fest (In 2020, however, we decorated throughout the campus, a rogue action befitting the year). In the past, we have meddled with time, hopped aboard the Oriental Express and took a Global Odyssey. We hold the kite flying festival, Udaan (our flagship event) in January, an annual event that is festive and memorable. We entertain, build sandcastles, and of course, fly kites! But, we are also a club that values fun. We also love to eat, especially when it’s a treat from the seniors! If all of this excites you, consider applying to the club. Please note that you don’t have to be an excellent artist to join the club (some of us cannot draw a tree without a reference). You need only have creativity, willingness to collaborate, and cravings for late-night dinners (of which there are a lot!).

From Faculty Advisors' Desk

My journey with this club started in 2018 as a Faculty Advisor. Since my school days, my all-time hobby is drawing and painting. I stepped into this club just as a person having great passion and admiration for art; with an interest to explore various activities related to art. Till date, I enjoy every bit of my experience and interaction with the club members, my association in planning and execution of various events and projects. More than being an advisor, I learnt a lot from the students. The passion and dedication shown by every student member of the club astonished me many a time. The vigour to make any event a grand success and the sincere efforts taken by each member amidst their academic pressure deserve a special mention and great appreciation. It's a pride to be a part of this art family. I wish the club to reach greater heights with flying colours in all the years to come!
