This group of art and art enthusiasts discover and share the heritage and history of Mangalore by sketching beloved architectural pieces in and around the city.

In June 2019, the group put on a 7-day art exhibit in Mangalore called “Fading Facades: Where Art Meets Architecture“. Below is a sample of their gorgeous work.
