In a groundbreaking initiative poised to reshape the artistic landscape, Voice of Artist (VOA) has launched a global movement aimed at transcending traditional artistic boundaries and fostering fearless creativity. This new platform aspires to inspire and nurture the artist within everyone, bringing together a universal collective of artists and art supporters to create a positive societal impact.
With the ethos #ArtAboveChart, the conception of VOA stemmed from the realization that the world’s focus on commercial success and metrics has overshadowed the true essence of art. Founder Ranaksh Rana and core advisor Megha Das envisioned a space where creativity could flourish without constraints. Ranaksh, whose journey from farmer to banker to artist, began this vision a decade ago during his banking career when he struggled to find committed theatre artists for a play. His dream gained momentum when he shared it with Megha, his partner-in-life, who had long desired to ignite the creative spark within those living on autopilot. Together, they expanded their vision to unlock the artist within everyone, whether a full-time artist or someone balancing other responsibilities.
“I am glad I found the biggest believer of this vision in my partner-in-life,” said Ranaksh. “She is the force that propels me to dream bigger and co-create the path to make it real.”
VOA’s mission is to unite artists who passionately pursue art and believe in its power to create positive societal change. The collective respects diverse voices and aims to help individuals find or amplify their artistic expressions.
“We want to make art a way of life, to be celebrated daily,” said Megha. “I once wrote a poem—’ If I ever make a museum, it will not be a rosy ordeal but sure would be real, uncensored, untouched, maybe deeply touching. It won’t host only happy memories but life as we know it.’ #VoiceOfArtist for me is a museum and it is very much real.”
In addition to artists, VOA invites advisors—experts in various fields who offer unique perspectives on the movement. The platform provides space for both artists and allies to co-exist, recognizing the importance of patrons and supporters in fueling the artistic movement
As VOA continues to grow, it stands as a testament to the power of art to unite, inspire, and transform. It invites all artists and allies to join this movement, create art beyond charts, and build a positive tomorrow through fearless creativity.
