A big success
The two-day annual art exhibition, the 36th in a series organised by the Lalit Kala Parishad received overwhelming response. For the Parishad, known for organising shows, workshops and conferences, it turned out to be success not only in terms of
continuous flow of visitors but also in receiving hundreds of entries from all parts of the country. Also, it received financial aid from different universities in the State and sponsorship for awards from various commercial establisments. .
The 103 exhibits were selected after scrutiny by C. Sanjeeva Rao and secretary, G. Kanna Rao under the supervision of specialists in the field of art. Artists had shown their skill with pencil, crayons, pen, ink, water, oil and poster colours, acrylics, woodcuts, graphics, etch works including a few combinations of these.
