In the view of celebration on INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY in March 2012, Together Arts organized a 5 days online International Art Contest on FAA titled: ‘Women Artists Only’. The Contest received entries from all over the world by Women Artists and Photographers from counties including U.K., Germany, U.S.A., Fiji, Canada, Israel, Romania and many more…

This Contest was Juried by a Team of International Women Jury Members including the Together Arts Team and it’s Artists Masoom Sanghi and Anjali Sanghi from INDIA, Eminent Artist Reinna Cottier from NEW ZEALAND, and well known photographers Annlynn Ward and Tina Marie from U.S.A.

The 1st Place Winner: MARIA ROVA from FIJI wrote: “Delighted with my First Place win – THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I look forward to my artwork being part of this year’s International Women’s Day celebrations… My painting, TINANA II, STRENGTH OF A WOMAN, was done in dyes and resist on white silk. It depicts symbolically the many roles a Fijian woman in a rural village context fulfills as she struggles to care for her family, provide for her community, and uphold the cultural traditions that are her identity.”
Many contestants shared their life stories as an artist along with their entries. ‘Paula Cork’ from U.S.A. was declared the International Discussions Contest Winner.

Another participant and winner Jean Hamilton -Fford wrote: “Being recently disabled, my artwork has helped me to look forward to every day. I find such joy in creating and sharing my work! It’s been an exercise in invention, out-of-the-box thinking, creative intuition and finding that ‘zone’ where creations take on a life of their own through my hands without my ‘knowing’ how it all happened. Love that! Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this piece and why I create art. This is a fabulous contest for wonderful women!”

Together Arts- the online portal www.togetherarts.in was originally created to showcase and sell the creations of two very talented and now Internationally reckoned Indian Women Artists: Masoom Sanghi and Anjali Sanghi.

In 2009 Together Arts recognized the great hidden talent amongst several artists, specially girls and women of all age-groups, from all social, financial, cultural backgrounds. Thus Together Arts now also helps showcase this collective hidden artistic talent of talented, promising, prominent Indian as well as International Artists, Artisans and Photographers including women, under-privileged, disabled & elderly to the whole world through several free initiatives like Regular International Contests, ‘Women Empowerment Programmes’, It’s International Online Gallery…
Together Arts WOMEN EMPOWERMENT Programme ‘WE’ is empowering talented Artists including, students, housewives, under-privileged children, destitute women etc. and their families creatively through it’s online portal www.togetherarts.in

Several Women Artists are also promoted through the INTERNATIONAL ONLINE GALLERY which holds a Prestigious International Juried Online Show every Month called- ‘7 Wonders of the World’. The ongoing show is promoting works of 5 international woman Artists and Photographers amongst others. Few of the earlier women artists showcased include: Jani Freimann and Carol Wisniewski from USA; Uma Sharma From Gurgaon INDIA; Era Tak from Jaipur, INDIA who is a highly educated Freelancer Creative Writer and Artist-Painter; Mrs. Archana Sethi from Mumbai, INDIA: An artisan who promotes several forms of Traditional Indian Art through Akshar Creations; Under-privileged, very talented, Girl Child Artists from urban slums, studying in Vimukti Girls School, Jaipur, INDIA..and many more..
Together Arts Team firmly believes that women belonging different strata of society are endowed with exceptional artistic talent. Financial, social and other constraints have been a major impediment in the blossoming of the latent artistic streak. These restrictions including great amount of time and effort required to individually showcase one’s talent, has suppressed the aspirations of a large number of talented women spread across all regions of the country and the world. Together Arts aims to empower the women, children and their families by providing an opportunity to freely exhibit their glowing power and present their brilliance before the world at large. It is our firm belief that we would be doing a small service when their artistic genius is presented before the discerning and knowledgeable world. It would provide them with the motivation to rise above the social challenges and carve a niche for themselves in the universe of Arts, along with fulfilling all their other responsibilities… The mission of Together Arts is to spread ‘Peace through Art’.
