The
Fine Arts Society
Yearbook Report 2008-2009
The Fine Arts Society of St. Stephen’s
College continued, this year, the trend it has upheld through the
recent years, which has been one of regular activity and interaction
with a number of different colleges and institutions. Though small,
the society has maintained a roster of committed and hard working
members and managed to secure dedicated sponsors.
One of the highlights in the current
academic year was, without doubt, the Inter College Art Competition
organized in August. The Competition was quite possibly the first
inter- college art event hosted by any Delhi University college in
the fresh academic term. The event saw students from all over North
and South campus taking part in the Still Life and Tattoo-making
competitions.
The Society also held its annual festival,
Artipelago, on the 17th and 18th of February,
2009, and involved six competitions ranging over various art forms.
As usual, the festival saw participants from various colleges,
including The Delhi College of Art. Simultaneously, an exhibition of
artwork by college students (As well as a few from outside college
who were interested in showcasing their work) was put up on display,
and several talented artists got a platform for their art,
unrestricted by regulations of medium, style, or theme.
Shortly after, the Art Journal, Aristeia,
was brought out, which supplemented the exhibition by showcasing not
only artwork by students but also written articles over a range of
various themes.
Overall, therefore, it has been, as usual,
an active and productive year for the Fine Arts Society.
