Granddaughter of the late Reggie Candappa, Tasha Marikkar who is spearheading the event for the Reggie Candappa Foundation for the Arts this year, "The Reggies have always sought to reward and encourage those who strive to break creative boundaries and innovate and foster eccentricity.

In keeping with this ethos, the foundation has decided to incorporate these creative craft mediums into our program.

This is a time of innovation and transformation in communication with amazing opportunities for creative craft and the Reggies fully intend to be the catalyst that brings that home."
