Arya

We are expecting some of the exhibits to be sold to the public and planning to sell calendars made out of our photos in the venue as it’s year end. We have decided to support Arya in a small way through the proceeds of the exhibition. Arya, a 4 year old girl from Mepayoor village, Kozhikode is suffering from Chronic Myloid leukemia and the treatment costs around 10 lakhs. But on an immediate basis, members can donate towards her treatment, the details of which can be found here. www.flickr.com/groups/kearala_clicks/discuss/721576080951…

Please help her in whatever small way you can and by participating in this exhibition

Dr.K.G.Paulose, Vice Chancellor, Kerala Kalamandalam(Deemed University for Art and Culture) has agreed to inaugurate the function.

Drisyam 2008 – a photography exhibition by ‘Kerala Clicks’ is a group activity which aims at sharing its members’ work with an audience outside Flickr and the internet. The exhibition will be the first of its kind in Kerala by a group in Flickr. All these days the members have been behind the screen and have interacted with each other through their photos and comments. This exhibition is also an excellent opportunity for the members to meet and know each other in person.
