Stellar Art Foundation Exhibits MF Husain’s Works at Capital Club in Dubai

Stellar International Art Foundation recently organised an event to celebrate art legend MF Husain’s masterpieces and his close relationship with the family. There has been no name more renowned than Husain in India’s art culture in the past century and hence the exhibition’s name “The Journey of the Legend”.

On display on 14th March at Capital Club Building, Husain’s brilliant work garnered a lot of attention and was a treat for the art lovers who attended the event. 

Stellar International Art Foundation also showed its presence at the Jaipur Literature Festival earlier this year. The event was made more special by the presence of Grammy winner and internationally acclaimed musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt who launched a limited edition publication that features a review of Paresh Maity’s excellent repertoire in the Foundation’s collection titled, Paresh Maity: World of Colours. Maity himself, Sushma Bahl the author and Anita Choudhrie shared their thoughts on promoting art as a culture. 

The Dubai exhibition was reminiscent of another one held last year in the UK—which was the largest on outside his estate and the first survey exhibition that displayed the maestro’s career in the UK in nearly a decade.

In 2014, Stellar Art hosted another major event; a region-wide exhibition of Contemporary Art from India at the seventh St. Moritz Art Masters exhibition. The event registered more than 30,000 visitors who were introduced to some of India’s most prestigious artists that included Manish Nai, Nalini Milani, Shilpa Gupta, and Dubodh Gupta.

The display that included a fabulous exhibition of works from Stellar International Art Foundation’s art treasury, it was a three-artist show that linked contemporary to modern, India to Europe, and spiritual to secular. The vibrancy of Paresh Maity’s works were much appreciated, and his ability to portray different locations with a new perspective was met with awe.

Anita Choudhrie’s Charity ‘Path to Success’ Announces Corporate Wheelchair Basketball Tournament

Anita Choudhrie’s charity Path to Success has urged companies to participate in a corporate event where teams will play wheelchair basketball in a tournament against Team GB Paralympians at AN Olympic venue. Wheelchair basketball has found a lot of takers in recent times, because of the game’s health benefits as well as social development capabilities.

The event will be held at the Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Tuesday, April 26th. A fundraiser, the money raised would be used in the development of UK’s renowned wheelchair basketball teams, the London Titans.

Eight teams would be allowed to participate and a minimum of six teams would compete. The game’s physically demanding nature and action packed execution provides the participants to better their communication, sharpen their leadership roles and help them perform better in a team.

Anita Choudhrie, founder of Path to Success, put out her vision for this tournament at a media event: “Our goal for the day is to create an open and positive environment within which colleagues can experience the competitive nature of wheelchair basketball for the first time.

“We are offering a unique experience to get away from the office and create lasting memories, while also raising money for an exceptional cause.”

To assure that the competition is stiff, teams will be coached by Ann Wild (OBE), a five-time Team GB Paralympian. Wild’s staff will be completed by Ade Adepitan MBE, a former Team GB Paralympian who is also a media personality and the current coach of London Titans. Team GB players would also flaunt their game skills at the event.

The games would be played from 9 to 5 and on two courts side by side, where the final two teams will face off for the champion’s title. Every team would be making a donation of a minimum of £5,000 or above which will be used for buying sports wheelchairs, match fees, court hire and the transport and coaching of the London Titans. This would immensely benefit the team, which has been void of any central sports funding even when it has produced more than 50 Team GB Players in its history.

Teams looking to join in can please contact Nasim.malhotra@pathtosuccess.org.uk.

Anita Choudhrie and Path to Success Come Together For a Cause

To encourage team building and foster health and creative thinking, corporate companies come up with in-house teams that participate in charity sporting events and tournaments. Sports is a wonderful way to mobilize and galvanise for a social cause and that’s just what the charity, Path to Success aims to do.

In its endeavour to raise money for the London Titans, one of the leading wheelchair basketball teams in the UK, the charity Path to Success is inviting corporate groups for a unique wheelchair basketball competition at an iconic Olympics venue along with Team GB Paralympians.

The event will take place at the Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on April the 26th, Tuesday. The charity is looking to form eight teams with eight or a minimum of six team members.

The reason for choosing wheelchair basketball is that it’s a demanding fast-paced sport that gives players opportunities to better their teamwork skills, work on communication and get into a leadership role.

The brainchild of Anita Choudhrie, Path to Success is a charity that takes up social causes to create innovative solutions that impact lives.  “Our goal for the day is to create an open and positive environment within which colleagues can experience the competitive nature of wheelchair basketball for the first time.

“We are offering a unique experience to get away from the office and create lasting memories, while also raising money for an exceptional cause”, said Anita at a media exchange.

In order to ensure the tournament turns out a test of the best, teams will undergo coaching from five-time Team GB Paralympian Ann Wild OBE. And London Titans coach, Ade Adepitan MBE, who is a former Team GB Paralympian and a known media personality, will also lend his valuable tips. The current Team GB members will also be presenting their skills at the court along with the teams.

The event will go on the whole day from 9 am to 5 pm, and will have two courts running matches alongside each other with the final two teams competing for the champions title.

Each team will be requested to make a voluntary donation of £5,000 or above. The money that the charity will raise from this event will be utilized in buying sports wheelchairs, match fees, court hire fees and also the coaching and transport of the London Titans, which has incidentally put out more than 50 Team GB players in its time as a team without receiving any central sports funding.
