Drishti Art Foundation

Drishti Art Foundation established by husband and wife duo Anuradha Vikranth and T M Vikranth from Bangalore, is dedicated to nurture, promote and propagate classical arts. Its main activities include - imparting training in dance; publishing 'Drishti', an exclusive magazine on dance and music; organising workshops, seminars and dance festivals; and collaborating with other cultural organizations to promote art.

Name any sphere of human endeavor and every other day a magazine devoted to it is perhaps hitting the stands and another is vanishing into the blue. A truly topsy-turvy world.
So, what is the raison d'être for Drishti, the brain-child of the husband and wife team of Vikranth and Anuradha Vikranth?
Vikranth is the Managing Editor of the magazine Drishti; Anuradha is a renowned Bharatanatyam danseuse – they are inwidely different fields, but the synergy of Vikranth's publishing background and Anuradha's versatile creative talents has resulted in Drishti, Karnataka's only magazine on Dance and Music.

Spotting a niche in the market for a magazine that covers who's who, what's what, what's on and so on, Anuradha visualizes Drishti for art lovers, connoisseurs and serious students, with information about past, current and forthcoming events, exclusive features and interviews, in-depth technical articles and a unique periodical directory of artists and art-related establishments.

A disciple of Guru Smt. Nirupama Rajendra and Guru Smt. Narmada, Anuradha's performances have enthralled art lovers, connoisseurs of dance and critics from all over India and abroad. In her foray into the magazine field as the moving force behind Drishti and as its Creative Director, she endeavors to bring to it the same dedication, energy and a fresh and eclectic perspective.

Narayan works enthusiastically with Anuradha and Vikranth in shaping Drishti into what it should or could be. With many irons in the fire, editing is his 'recreation'; his idea of light reading is often just a dictionary! He says he is no scholar, no intellectual; nor a culture vulture. So there he is generally rooting for you, the reader, with his passion for brevity and clarity in com-munication, an eye for errors and a general light-heartedness towards issues that many would get all worked up about. He would gladly shoulder the blame if you find Drishti less highbrow than you would like it to be.
