Purple Kaleidoscope had an interesting Inclusive Art Workshops and Display of Sensory Activation Products that have caused a buzz with their creativity.

Art Able’s vision for an art space isn’t confined to canvases and easels. At Art Able Gallery, it’s about shattering barriers and weaving a tapestry of inclusivity where everyone can create, connect, and celebrate.

Whether you have physical or neurodiverse abilities, Siddhant Shah welcomes you with open arms. Their inclusive art workshops offer a vibrant playground for expression, with “nonsense movement therapy” shaking off inhibitions and “sensory art” igniting your senses.

Siddhant shah says, “We look at this space to use art as a medium of enabling change and how art can be taught to children with special needs and also we have artworks

which are tactile, which are from Serendipity Arts Festival which is another organization who works with children. We also have a lot of sensory products. The response has been phenomenal. We have over 300 kids come in one day and we have almost over 1000 kids come over and it has been just amazing.”

But Art Able Gallery isn’t just about participation – it’s about inspiring others to follow suit. Workshops for teachers and educators empower them to integrate art-based learning into their curriculum, echoing the spirit of India’s National Education Policy 2020.

And then there’s Tactile artwork. These tactile masterpieces transcend the limitations of sight, inviting everyone to explore art through touch, feel and experience. It’s a testament to Art Able’s unwavering belief that art should be a language understood by all.
