About Berserk:
Sublime Galleria introduced a unique proprietary event, Berserk in 2013. Berserk is an annual 3-day Residential Art Conference for children. Categorized under the four key art verticals – Theatre, Dance, Music & Visual Art, Sublime brings the best in the art industry to mentor and guide these children. The programme involves identifying/short-listing students from the chosen city schools who will partake in a 3-day Residential Conference comprising intensive workshops supported by sessions meticulously planned for each vertical featuring guest lectures & demonstrations by award-winning professionals apart from other endorsements and benefits.
It is widely acknowledged that much needs to be done when it comes to promoting fine art in India. This awareness needs to be built from a grass root level where children interested in art can be nurtured and guided through its basics and other nuances. This common belief resulted in the creation of ‘Berserk’.
