Hubballi Art Festival (HAF) is an initiative by Rostrum Diaries, a unit of GubbiBoo ventures private limited. Rostrum Diaries is an art community that just fell in love with art and artists. We believe that it is very important for us to preserve our talent well. And therefore this art festival. We have always had this magnetism towards Art and its forms. We believe Art can exist anywhere, in anyone and in any kind, and so through this platform support Art and Artists!
Hubballi – Dharwad known for its Diversified languages and cultural differences in the people living, have evoked a need for a common platform. We have always believed that art is omnipresent, and the roots of which are the culture and traditions that we are rooted with, the more the diversification in it, the more will be the shades of talent.
Therefore the idea behind HAF is to ignite the spark of creativity in people, our art platform knows no boundaries, we gladly welcome people from different age groups and different backgrounds to come and celebrate art.
We wish to bring people together and blur the barriers of language and religion by Art because Art alone is complete.
Art is feel, it’s the beat of heart that keeps man alive. Despite breathing, most of us are not living, if we have lost the touch of art. Art comes in various forms, so many that it’s impossible to have any specific lines to define. Therefore the art needs to be preserved, encouraged and ignited.
We believe along with giving a platform for Art to blossom, it needs to be nurtured to be witnessed by generations to come, hence the best of Artworks will be printed in an Artbook, to be imprinted in hearts forever. ArtBook will focus on providing a memorable experience to all the amazing artists out there, therefore the art never becomes history, but stays on pages of this art book and stays etched in the hearts forever.
