The Mini Art Competition was held on Saturday, October 10th from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM at Haki Studio, DHA Phase 4, Karachi. The competition aimed to celebrate creativity and test artistic skill under time-bound challenges. Participants explored diverse themes in Round 1 and showcased technical mastery in Round 2, judged by renowned miniature artists Anwar Kashif and Kiran Muktar.

Purpose & Impact
