‘Tap creativity of budding artists’

BHUBANESWAR: Governor M.C. Bhandare has called upon the artist’s fraternity of the State to tap the creativity in the budding talents in time and nourish it in an appropriate way.

“Catch them young”, said the Governor while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the five-day regional ‘Kala Mela’ (art fair) being hosted by the Rashtriya Lalit Kala Kendra on its campus here on Tuesday.

“Orissa is India’s richest State, culturally. I am impressed by the mine of talents in performing arts here that I discovered during the State-level talent hunt competition that I initiated this year,” he states.

In his first-ever public programme in the country as the new chairperson of the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, noted poet Ashok Vajpeyi observed that Indian contemporary art has become a gainful vocation for the young artists of the nation.
