What is ChotaMota?
The ChotaMota Foundation (CMF) is just the creative space you would crave to be in. A space for expressing your “own” ideas, in words or colours.
A space for voicing your ideas that are really not ‘ideal’ – in forms not bound by ‘norms’
– for carving images, in words or colours, urged by your very own artistic instincts.
In course of time, the foundation envisages to turn itself into a meeting ground of creative minds of all ages. A meeting ground of those in need of freedom of thought and expression to flourish on their own terms.
What does it do?
It holds regular online Art Programs on selected forms of visual arts(Painting, Poster, Photography, Cartoon & Caricature, Graphic Story, Short Film) and creative writings in Bangla and English for young innovative minds. Financial awards are given for out-of-box art works selected by a distinguished jury.
Who Can take part in Art Programs?
Anybody, from anywhere as long as you are in the age group of 15-27 yrs. No registration fees.
How to take part in Art Programs?
All you need to do is to find the ongoing “Art Program Guidelines” , click it, go through it and finally “submit” your Artwork.
