About Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation

PDAF was founded in 2014 by late Dilip Dahanukar in honor of his wife Prafulla Dahanukar, who was an eminent modern artist of India at the time of the progressive movement post independence of India. Prafulla was known for her large heartedness and was very resourceful in connecting and encouraging young artists and musicians who showed talent and potential also making her a patron of the arts. Dilip Dahanukar started the foundation in her name and dedicated his time in supporting this vision to honor Prafulla's generous spirit in supporting the Arts and emerging artists. With his dedication and relentless energy he brought this foundation from an idea to reality in collaboration with artists and industry leaders making it reach all across the Indian subcontinent. This foundation provides a much-needed platform for emerging artists across India by creating an inclusive space for artists of all backgrounds be recognised for their work. Each year, the foundation hosts a national online art competition (Kalanand) and has expanded to programs of Art outreach in schools (Balanand) and Senior citizens retirement homes (Sadanand). This Art foundation is generously supported by artists, corporations, collaborators, friends, family, and well-wishers, without whom the success of this endeavor would not be possible.
