ARTISTA - The Art Club of GNITS Beginnings Under the aegis of the Lead India National Club (LINC) GNITS, an arts club named ARTISTA was inaugurated on 25th January, 2015 by Chief Guest Dr. I. Ramachandra Reddy (Director, GNITS), Guest of Honour Shri P. Subba Reddy (Chairman, GNITS) and Dr. K. Ramesh Reddy (Principal, GNITS) synchronising with Republic Day Celebrations to showcase the artistic talents of GNITians. The name ARTISTA is derived from Spanish, meaning a person whose creative work shows sensitivity and imagination. By urban dictionary, an ARTISTA is a very spunky, quirky creative female artist who is deemed that title due to her amount of spunkiness, courage and determination she lives and relates life. Artista’s are marked by being humorous, outstandingly quirky, wild, free and have unusual amounts of joy in their lives, perspectives, ideas and art. The club was initiated to explore this angle of the future all- rounder engineers. Artista organises Art Exhibition called GALLERIA -showcasing the various art works of GNITS students during the National Festivals on Republic Day and Independence Day.The Galleria displays colourful oil paintings, pencil sketches, charcoal drawings, glass paintings thematic paintings and art works. Initial logo of Artista portrayed the way the ideas of students were given wings as a part of LINC GNITS. Over the due course of evolvement of the club, the present logo portrays Artista as an individual club, with great potential and good support. It represents the hidden letters of Artista, it represents our close- knit art family, it represents the exceptional power of imagination! It represents the feminine power to balance life, like the 'T's yet be distinct like the 'I', hidden secretly as 'S', if given chance to raise, will raise like the 'R', completing the larger 'A'bstracts of life!
