I discovered Taxi Fabric Art on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/sanketavlani\/taxi-fabric-a-unique-platform-for-designers-in-mum?ref=NewsJul2315&amp;utm_campaign=Jul+23&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter today<\/a>. It&#8217;s a new artistic campaign in India that is really taking art to the taxis by allowing a vehicle (no pun intended) for artists in Mumbai to submit their artwork for printing onto the fabric that is used in taxi cabs. The philosophy behind the project, from the founders:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>We want to help Indian designers have their work not only be seen but also allow them to connect with members of the public who up until now perhaps haven&#8217;t understood that design can tell stories and create emotions&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8836\" style=\"width: 475px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-1_via-Kickstarter-on-AIE.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8836 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-1_via-Kickstarter-on-AIE.png\" alt=\"Example of one of the taxicabs fitted with taxifabric on Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"475\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-1_via-Kickstarter-on-AIE.png 475w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-1_via-Kickstarter-on-AIE-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-1_via-Kickstarter-on-AIE-425x300.png 425w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of one of the taxicabs fitted with an artist&#8217;s design.

India is also a place of such dichotomy, with such beauty, natural wonders and gorgeous, delectable food but with such disparity with those who have very little and live with a lot of hardship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Every Taxi Fabric design has the opportunity to be seen by upwards of 4,000 people in the 4-5 months that it features in a Mumbai taxi. If we reach our target, that will mean 120,000+ people in Mumbai will have seen the work of these designers by Christmas.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The Taxi drivers have commented that they believe their customers are not only engaging with them more, but most of them also ask them about their designs featured in their taxis. Some have even told us that they are getting more fares because their taxis stand out in a way the other taxis don&#8217;t.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>3 out of the 5 designers who have made Taxi Fabrics have been contacted by members of the public who have seen their designs and want to work with them further&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8838\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8838\" style=\"width: 475px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-3-via-Kickstarter-on-AIE.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8838 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-3-via-Kickstarter-on-AIE.png\" alt=\"Taxifabric 3 on Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"475\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-3-via-Kickstarter-on-AIE.png 475w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-3-via-Kickstarter-on-AIE-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Taxifabric-3-via-Kickstarter-on-AIE-419x300.png 419w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Quite a fashionable ride here.
