CUISINART 2019, now in its fourth year, is another novel concept event from Calcutta Club USA, and is the only live Indian culinary contest in New England. Fusing food and art, Cuisinart will host the combination of a fine Indian style cooking competition among non-professional chefs and an exquisite live art creation by talented artists in the same venue. Attendance at this event will be free with advance online registration.

As in earlier Cuisinarts, we will have a Live Art program to the accompaniment of music & dance. This year, we are hoping to add several young talented artists in the Live Art segment. Several dancers will participate in a dance sequence for 30-45 minutes during which the artists will paint real time on canvas. The live paintings will be auctioned and the proceeds donated to charity after costs deductions. Interested young artists and dancers are welcome to contact us through channels provided below.

Live Art Show and Charity Auction

An innovative and novel offering of Cuisinart is the Live Art Show. In this segment, generally one or two artists make a timed canvas painting in approximately half an hour, to the tune of an exotic musical choreography. Last year, the dance theme was Indian classical music. This year, we will celebrate folk dances from multiple states, performed by students of Boston area schools. It's a spellbinding show, which has no rehearsal - as art takes form rapidly. As soon as the program ends, the painting must complete - after which, they will be auctioned to charity. Last year, we raised enough money to donate to ASHA Students Organization of Acton Boxboro High School, which supported one year of education of 6 girls from Prerna Girls School in Lucknow. We hope to achieve a similar target this year.

Our live artists this year will be announced soon. It takes a lot of courage to take on this challenge, so we are very grateful to them for volunteering their services. Accompanying them will be several musicians and  dancers.
Live Artists - Andy Tapaswi & Rahul Ray
Dancers:

Thanks to Subu Kota and Pat Snow for purchasing the live art paintings. All proceeds were donated to Ms Jeannie Meijer, president of Acton Boxboro United Way (abuw.org)
