BE ARTSY (www.be-artsy.com) is an organization supporting social and environmental issues using art as a tool. BE ARTSY is a company that has taken the initiative to glorify various forms of art by providing suitable platform to artists to showcase their talent and use this opportunity to address various social issues that affect our country. In this unique synergy of art and social
issues we involve youth and young adults who are the most essential agents of social
transformation.

Through its various initiatives, it plans to reach out the youth of the country. BE ARTSY is organizing an All-India Street Theatre Festival from August, 2011 onwards: BE ON THE STREET.  In this eight-month long festival there will be more than 150 performances by some of the best theatre teams in 7 states at over 100 venues in both rural and urban parts of India. These plays would be based on a myriad of social themes to highlight various problems that exist in our society. The supportive programme is the social face of Be on the Street where the
groups go to public places through its six folded outreach programme; a comprehensive plan to trace audience even in their hideouts.  

 
The photography initiative, Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder, starting from 20th July will have themes like Uplifting life/ Volunteerism, Animal treatment (supported by PETA), Domestic Workers (Supported by ILO- UN agency), Environment and sustainability (Supported by UNIC) for online competition to be judged by an elite panel. The organization also plans to take the art as exhibition to various public places across the country.  

Literary art is always considered to be an unexplored arena in our country. Therefore BE IN QUOTES envisages the creation of a book putting together anecdotes by spotting heroes in any city, town, village and/or in any part of the country. So this is the chance for all the people who always wanted to be quoted, to pen down the stories they always wanted to share. Compiling
such stories will give a new and unique platform to promote aspiring writers in this country.

BE ARTSY phase one focuses on the Youth Program where the organization plans to empower the youth as agents of change. {"BE ARTSY - Empowering creative Minds" is an art rage, an idea to utilize art and bring it closer to common man} Shikha Mittal, Founder.
