Art and Culture

Given the mix of cultures and nationalities in Auroville and the unique potential of each of its residents, the art, culture, and music born within Auroville are remarkable for their beauty. From painters to potters and poets to wood carvers and filmmakers, the canvas is wide and multi-hued.

In Auroville, creativity is not merely an aesthetic pursuit but a means of inner exploration, to express something deeper and new, and to grow as a community towards unity. At its highest, art here is a means of coming closer to the Divine, supporting the evolution of the soul and the transformation of human consciousness.

Details of upcoming cultural events are usually published in News & Notes, on the home page of www.auroville.org.in, which is publicly accessible, as well as on notice boards at various locations around Auroville.
