The theme of the fair, which has participation from 25 countries is 'Women Entrepreneurs', to help organisations integrate women welfare programmes in different parts of the country.
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.
Singh along with other women artists are showcasing their art and craft works to showcase that that arts and crafts can also be a profitable enterprise.
"I have on display four of my original works which are acrylic on paper that mostly depicts landscapes, nature, temples and few prints. I have also painted and designed coasters, T-shirts, greeting cards which are attracting young crowds at the fair," says Singh.
