The Art for Concern Annual Charity Auction has carved a niche for itself among the most elite art events in India. It was initiated in aid of Concern India Foundation in 2001 when the Indian art market was still at a nascent stage.

With the overwhelming support of well-established modern and contemporary artists, the prestigious Art for Concern Annual Charity Auction has enabled art collectors to acquire high-end artworks from renowned artists.

It promotes Indian art, but more importantly, it contributes to the socio-economic development of the underprivileged sections of our society. It is heartening that artists renowned the world over are connected to local causes and development. Art for Concern has found support from several masters of the field, among them are Ram Kumar, M F Husain, N S Bendre, K H Ara, B Prabha, Jogen Chowdhury, Rabin Mandal, Baiju Parthan, Paresh Maity, and Jayasri Burman to name a few.
