Colorothon’s Guinness attempt in city

With up to 12,000 expected participates, the upcoming sixth season of Colorothon at Sanjeevaiah Park is set to make an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records and Limca Book Of Records for most number of people drawing under a single platform.

Come November 15, the event is open to all from 3-90 year olds a la Aamir Khan’s ‘Taare Zameen Par’, as a platform to show their artistic side.

Speaking about his experience of the event Kishore Joseph, organiser and director of Breathe Entertainment said he is amazed by the quality of the paintings from ordinary people some of whom may be even wielding the brush for the first time.

“There is lot of untapped creative talent in the common people, which is waiting to be discovered or which needs an outlet and this is precisely what Colorothon is all about,” he said and added, “In Hyderabad given its rich culture and history, I expect our event here to break all our previous records.”

500 best paintings will be judged by renowned artists and will be auctioned and donated to the charity partner, My Choices Foundation that works to give women and girls choices to live free from abuse, violence and exploitation.

‘Draw You Imagination’ themed Colorothon has something for everyone– cartoon characters, art bazaars, drum circles, live painting, stand-up comedy, magic show and more. Registration for the event is free.
