THE GAP
Art and Science, East and West
At O we aim to promote the creative sector with a focus on POETRY, by addressing areas where there are barriers to growth. The gaps are many: the stark divide in Art and Science disciplines being foremost, livelihood issues artists face, declining enthusiasts and connoisseurs, numerous biases that are age-, gender-, caste-, class-related, academic, regional, cultural, racial, socio-economical, technological and so on. We work to reach regions, communities and age groups with deficiency of exposure to POETRY and VISUAL ARTS, skills, access to finance, regulation and infrastructure.

-
To yield radical transformation and drive inspiration in the creative sector we must engage with, strengthen and perpetuate the idea of INTERCONNECTEDNESS.

The fundamental connections between different fields, beings and the natural world are significantly strong that they compel attention, and allow for deeper insights into growth barriers in the sector.
Taking Action
Our Bridging Interventions
Our intervention programmes are unique to our organisation and designed based on empirical evidence, best practices and data collected across a broad range of trials with tried and tested strategies and methods coupled with an objective focus on the need of poetry and visual arts in general.
Our Outreach Programmes
We also keep a busy calendar packed with events, social occasions and festivals, interviews, exchanges and seminars. There's plenty for all to enjoy!

Story
At O we are keen on verse, in other words, poetry. There is more to poetry than simply rhyme or metre or the many literary devices pupils are often intimidated by. We, at O, aim to bridge the rather stark divide between the Art and Science worlds.
The ‘O’ factor — Our muse letter O’s universality and versatility are highly alluring. And like poetry O, too, is multidimensional, for it not only holds the sound O, the numeral O and the shape O within it but also its implications in each of the three forms are...
