Turn your Windows into Beautiful Works of Art!
The DC Collaborative is continuing our campaign from 2020 with the #TeachingIsaWorkofArt Window Gallery Project to show teachers our appreciation for their dedication during these trying times.
How to Participate:
Using what you have at home, create Window Art to celebrate teachers!
We would love to see this go viral, (in a good way)! Post on Social media (tag @DCCollaborative) and use at least one of the following hashtags:
#TeachingIsAWorkOfArt
#KeepMakingArt
#TYTeachers
#TeacherAppreciationWeek
Note: Email Tracey@DCCollaborative.org a picture of your window art if you prefer the Collaborative to share on its social media instead of posting throughout your channels. The DC Collaborative will promote your posts on social media and feature your posts in a virtual gallery!
Are you a poet and/or performing artist? The window is your stage! Design window art including poetry and/or record yourself performing!
Get Creative! Share! Share! Share! Your Window is Your Stage!
Be sure to use the #Hashtags or send us a photo of your window and we will post it.

Indian Art History and Appreciation Online Course
Art historian Benoy K Behl takes us on a journey through Indian art, across ancient and medieval times. He joins us from Delhi, India on Zoom each Saturday morning in the month of May. These talks are profusely illustrated by Behl's well-known photographs and films on Indian art, including the scarcely-seen ancient murals. He shows the continuity of the tradition of painting and sculpture in India, through ancient and medieval times. Selected films are shown from his series of 52 documentary films, on Indian paintings and on sculpture. He also takes us on a journey through the development of Buddhism and some of the famous Indian temples. Behl presents the traditions of art making and patronage of art since ancient times. He shows the first deities that were conceived in Indian thought and art, as well as the development of subsequent spiritual traditions and deities.
Benoy K Behl is a film-maker, art-historian and photographer who is known for his tireless and prolific output of work over the past 43 years. He has taken over 52,000 photographs of Asian monuments and art heritage and made 144 documentaries which are regularly screened at major cultural institutions worldwide. His photographic exhibitions have been warmly received in 72 countries around the world.
