Organisations like Hammerarttag.com which Singh is a part of helps women to showcase, sell as well as rent out their art or craft-works to various institutions across India.
“I would encourage upcoming artists to interact with galleries personally and always look for local contacts or galleries in your area to showcase your work. One can also get associated with organizations like Hammerartag.com which help you to financially establish yourself by selling or renting out your work,” says Singh.
