(BYOA)* an annual/bi-annual event, is aimed at providing a venue/platform for the so-called “Unknown Artist”. The event is aimed at providing these lesser-known upcoming artists with a platform to display their pieces of art, for wider exposure and recognition. This may in turn be an opportunity for them to network with other such artists/artisans. They may consist of people from all walks of life, all age groups, ranging from students to housewives to small time professionals.

P.L. Jose, Stephen Paul Dass and Rahul Thomas Venkatesh founded BYOA in 2007. Visit www.BringYourOwnArt.com/byoa2007.htm to check out our first edition held at Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath
