What we do at the nabachika foundation
build communities for citizen art
The Nabachika foundation was set up to promote Citizen Art as a movement that encourages visual self-expression and creative practice in our communities.
Over the past 15 years, our flagship project, Penciljam has conducted over a 1000 such community drawing sessions.
This grassroots approach to art-making empowers people to become active creators rather than passive consumers of visual culture.

Project support network for Artists
The Trellis Program is designed to help artists plan and execute complicated artistic projects. Trellis is a peer-based support network that handholds artists through the process of taking projects from an Idea stage to completion.
15 years of impact, and counting...
For a decade and a half, The Nabachika Foundation has developed Art based programs to benefit Early Childhood Learning, Special Needs Interventions, Citizen Art Communities and Resilience in Organisations, using Art as a bridge.
Our website is currently undergoing an overhaul, and we are excited to share our programs and the impact that we have created over the years. Please bookmark this site and visit us again soon.
