Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat inaugurates first edition of Namma Art Bengaluru
: The first edition of 'Namma Art Bengaluru,' a national level art fair organised by Karnataka Chitrakala Parishat (CKP) in association with the Department of Tourism, was inaugurated here on Wednesday. 'The objective of the fair is to provide an opportunity to artists of Karnataka and other states. CKP not only shapes artists, but also gives them hope and exposure,' said H.K. Patil, Minister of Tourism, Law and Parliamentary Affairs, who inaugurated the fair. He also remarked that Karnataka is one of the states that gives prominence to handcrafted sculptures, and mentioned that art is to be preserved for the coming generations. Following the inauguration ceremony, the audience were treated to a live painting demonstration by renowned speed painter Vilas Nayak who painted an image of a Yakshagana performer and the UNESCO heritage site, Hampi, within 8 minutes. The visitors said that they liked the collection of art at the fair. More than 100 participants from eight states across the country have displayed their art work at the fair. 'I love to collect art and I see a lot of things here which I will mostly be purchasing,' said Keerthi Patil, a patron at the fair. 'I am excited to be a part of the first Namma Art Bengaluru as this seems to be a promising annual event,' said Aayana Dwivedi, a student who had come to the fair. The five-day fair will conclude on June 1 and is being held at the CKP campus.
