The Fine Arts Society

Yearbook Report 2009-2010

The Fine Arts Society has had its share of obtuse fun this year. That we saw little of art in the society should not be a disappointment, for we saw even less of society members in the record-breaking number of meetings that were held. The meetings were fascinating, nonetheless. At one of these, a dog (the dogs were usually kept to sniff out people in Main Corridor who knew anything about art and to drag them to be inducted into the society) insisted on chewing the President’s hand. On another occasion, the meeting mysteriously turned into a Bong Lit. Soc. meeting; the non-Bong Lit. Soc. members exited into oblivion quietly thereafter.

However, one should not assume that we did no work at all. Even as the printed one-page notices replaced our beautifully hand-crafted ones on the Today’s Engagements Board, we did not lose hope. We displayed our artistic talents within the confines of our own notice board. We also invited artists to interact with the Junior Members for the very first time. Visits to many exhibitions were organized and we thoroughly enjoyed the ones at The Attic and Triveni Kala Sangam; admittedly because they were followed by food (having to pay for it ourselves was another issue). Despite coaxing the first years to run after their moneyed uncles, our coffers lay empty till the SUS came to our rescue and gave us a lump sum for our festival - Artipelago 2009-10. Had the editor of this Yearbook been kind enough to stretch the write-up deadline by a couple of weeks, we would have boasted of that too.

Overall, the society came up with many new ideas ‘to explore the alleys of creativity’ even as it tottered on the threshold of virtual bankruptcy and witnessed the vanishing acts of the first years. Hope the society sees better financial conditions in the following years and betters the good work.
