Our Work
"Where art meets purpose, and purpose becomes change."
At Ayush Art Foundation, our team is a blend of passionate artists, educators, and changemakers committed to using art as a tool for social transformation. Led by Founder Ayush Mohapatra, our members work together to inspire children, preserve culture, and promote creativity across communities. From conducting workshops to organizing national exhibitions, every brushstroke we make is powered by teamwork and shared purpose.
Who We Are.
We are not just an organization—we are a movement led by young hearts, guided by compassion, and powered by creativity. Founded by Ayush Mohapatra, a nationally recognized speed artist and social changemaker, the Ayush Art Foundation began with a simple dream: to bring art, identity, and confidence into the lives of children who never had the chance to express themselves.
From tribal villages to orphanages, from school walls to digital screens, our work lives where hope is needed most. We don’t just teach art—we unlock courage, joy, and self-worth through every brushstroke.

Our Mission.
At Ayush Art Foundation, we envision a future where every child—regardless of background, geography, or circumstance—can express themselves through the transformative power of art. By 2030, our mission is to reach over 1 million children across India by conducting free art-based workshops in schools, child care institutions, tribal regions, and orphanages, making creativity accessible where it is most needed. As part of this movement, we have launched a free mobile app to provide art education, cultural awareness, and environmental storytelling directly to children’s fingertips—even in the most remote areas. This digital platform bridges the gap between urban opportunity and rural talent, empowering young minds to dream and create. Through our environmental initiative, “Let’s Create Artistic Planet,” we have also pledged to plant 1,00,000 trees by 2030, using art to spread climate awareness and reconnect children with nature. Each tree planted, each workshop delivered, and each artwork created is a step toward a more compassionate, expressive, and sustainable India. What began with one child and a brush has become a national mission to heal, inspire, and transform—because art should not be a privilege, it should be a path.

It should be a path"

Our Challenge.
Across India, millions of children grow up without access to creative learning, cultural identity, or emotional expression. In tribal regions, orphanages, slums, and under-resourced schools, art is seen as a luxury—something extra, something optional—when in truth, it is often the most powerful tool for healing, confidence, and voice. These children face the silence of emotional trauma, the absence of color in their surroundings, and a lack of opportunities to express their dreams or tell their stories. Many of them have never held a brush, drawn freely, or experienced the joy of creating something that is truly their own.
Cultural neglect is another major challenge. Rich traditions, folk art forms, and spiritual heritage are disappearing from the everyday lives of children who are growing up disconnected from their roots. Meanwhile, environmental awareness is dangerously low among young people—especially in communities most affected by climate change. In many tribal and remote areas, there are no art teachers, no digital access, and no structured programs that blend creativity with learning or awareness.
At the same time, thousands of passionate young volunteers want to contribute but lack structured platforms to serve and grow. We are confronting a dual challenge: children who need guidance, and youth who need purpose. That is the gap Ayush Art Foundation was born to bridge—using art not just as a subject, but as a solution.

Our Solution.
At Ayush Art Foundation, our solution is rooted in a simple yet powerful belief: art has the ability to heal, empower, and transform. We don’t just teach drawing—we create spaces where children can express their emotions, reconnect with their culture, and find their voice. Through free art workshops in orphanages, schools, and tribal villages, we bring brushes, colors, and hope directly into the hands of those who need it most. Our innovative environmental campaigns use murals and creative activities to spread awareness about climate change and sustainability. We preserve cultural heritage through live performances, exhibitions, and storytelling inspired by Indian traditions. To ensure no child is left behind, we’ve launched a free mobile app that delivers creative education and awareness content to even the most remote areas of the country. And by training passionate youth volunteers as mentors and changemakers, we are building a generation that leads with compassion, creativity, and purpose. Our solution is not just about art—it’s about giving children the tools to believe in themselves and shape their future.
Our Programs.
The programs at Ayush Art Foundation are designed to bring color, confidence, and change into the lives of children who need it most. Each initiative is built around the belief that art is not just creativity—it’s healing, education, expression, and empowerment. From free art classes in orphanages, tribal villages, and under-resourced schools to environmental awareness campaigns that blend creativity with climate action, our work creates impact at the grassroots. Through "Culture Through Canvas", we preserve and celebrate India’s heritage with live performances and storytelling rooted in traditional arts. Our free mobile app ensures that children in remote areas can access drawing lessons and awareness content from their phones—making learning truly inclusive. In addition, our "Youth for Change" program trains young volunteers as art educators and changemakers, giving them leadership opportunities while serving society. Each program is a bridge—connecting children to their potential, and communities to their cultural pride and future.
