Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday, January 15, announced the launch of 'Street Theatre and Performing Arts Fellowship' scheme to provide artists with an opportunity to showcase their craft.

 

 

 

 

"This is the first time in our country that such a unique scheme of cultural presentation of over 450 artists has been launched in Delhi. This will develop a taste for art and culture amongst the people of Delhi," Sisodia said at the event, as reported by The New Indian Express.

 

"There will be live performances on the streets as we have created this fellowship to give an opportunity to the artists to showcase their art," he explained.

 

 

 

The scheme has been started by the Sahitya Kala Parishad under the Department of Arts, Culture and Languages. Using "#ArtistsOfDelhi", the minister tweeted that the street artists at various places would hit the streets every week to break the 'monotony of the city life'.

 

Reports have pointed out that nearly 500 artists from diverse backgrounds including theatre, music, dance and fine arts have been selected for this fellowship while another 500 will be added to the plan-of-action in the future. 

 

"We had envisioned this scheme a year ago but it got sidelined because of the pandemic. Now we have decided that it is time to launch it. I'm happy that all formalities of the fellowship are out of the way and now it will go out in the public ' taking art to the streets," the minister said.
