Srishti
School of Art, Design and Technology was founded in 1996 by
the Ujwal Trust with the objective of providing art and design education
in an environment of creativity and maximizing individual potential.
Srishti’s inter-disciplinary approach helps promote self-initiated
learning and independent thinking, while expanding perceptual perspectives
and developing artistic vocabularies. Courses are taught by industry-experienced
faculty and the curriculum is built on a broad based liberal arts foundation.
Over the
years, Srishti has gained recognition as a provider of quality contemporary
art and design education. Its mission is facilitated by its organizational
structure – a “community of learners” consisting of
both faculty and students.
