This month marks two highly significant dates – the 50th anniversary of Auroville’s inauguration as The City of Dawn and the 140th anniversary of The Mother’s birth. These events are not separate – Auroville is the manifestation of The Mother’s vision and work. Here is her vision for Auroville and for the advent of a new world.
“Art for Land” is ending its third season with a Gala Closing Event and Fundraising Dinner for the land – featuring a visual presentation on “The Mother as an Artist” plus Sitar and Rock & Blues concerts – presided over by Auroville Foundation Secretary Mohan Chunkath!
Auroville artists speak about their creations in the magical atmosphere of this year’s Art for land exhibition at the Unity Pavilion (till February 15th)
Here’s a very upbeat video preview of some of the artworks – and the energy – as Art for Land Year 3 swings into action on the exhibition’s opening day!
Make a land donation and receive an artwork as a gift. Over 70 artists are offering their creations in this non-commercial action to raise funds for Auroville’s land.

Unity Pavilion is privileged to host the 3rd Art for Land exhibition & land fundraiser. Over 70 artists from around the world have generously donated their works to raise funds for Auroville’s missing land – visitors make a land donation and receive an artwork as a gift.
Now turning 50 this February, Auroville is blooming. Its once-barren land is a green and creative testimony to the years of dedication, hope, hard work, and collaboration! All of these impressive achievements are built upon – and depend on – the City of Dawn’s land!
The story of Auroville can be understood as 5 decades of trial and effort for “the growth of light” and “the struggle towards better things”. Starting with a scarcity of resources of any kind, today we see a healthy, multi-pronged international community striving for a sunlit vision of the future.
The land fundraising team is active on many fronts! Here’s an encouraging panorama of all our latest actions.
Seventy years ago, Sri Aurobindo wrote a message that was broadcast on All India Radio for India’s Independence. He wrote of his long-cherished dreams, two of which relate to the Auroville vision. Auroville exists to incarnate these 2 dreams, and Acres for Auroville exists to provide the land!
