Established in 2019, Aura Art School stands as a testament to Mr. Kotian's dedication to art education, built on his impressive two-decade journey as an artist and educator. The school has become more than just an educational institution; it's a haven where talent meets opportunity, offering various forms of art training to students from across the Udupi region.

What sets Aura Art School apart is Mr. Kotian's inclusive approach to art education. Understanding that creative potential knows no economic boundaries, he extends his expertise to students who might otherwise be unable to afford formal art training. This commitment to accessibility aligns perfectly with Ventana Foundation's mission of supporting initiatives that make art education available to all.

The connection between the school and Ventana Foundation was established through a former workshop participant who recognized the potential for collaboration. Learning about the school's need for proper infrastructure to support freehand drawing classes, Ventana Foundation responded by donating three foldable steel tables and six benches, essential equipment for creating an optimal learning environment.

"Proper infrastructure is crucial for art education," explains Mr. Kotian. "These foldable tables and benches not only serve our daily classes but also support our annual art events, making them invaluable additions to our school's resources."

The versatility of the donated furniture particularly benefits the school's various activities. The foldable design allows for flexible space utilization, accommodating both regular classes and special events that Mr. Kotian organizes throughout the year to showcase student talent and promote art in the community.

This support from Ventana Foundation represents more than just a furniture donation; it's an investment in the artistic future of Udupi's youth. By providing essential infrastructure to institutions like Aura Art School, the foundation continues its mission of supporting grass-roots art education initiatives.
