About the Initiative

The CRACK International Art Camp (CIAC) promotes emerging artists worldwide by providing a non-corporate, international environment for creation. It encourages the sharing of original ideas, free thought, and intercultural cooperation. Through cross-border fusion of art and culture, CIAC promotes environmentally sustainable behaviour. It offers a stimulating setting for artists to unwind, exchange ideas, and experience rural Bengali culture, placing a stronger emphasis on relaxation than hard brainstorming.
