National Art Week: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR NATIONAL ART WEEK

Art is increasingly bought more as an investment, and for several people, most modern art anyway looks as creative as a share certificate. Trying to throw light on how art is much more than all that is a week-long festival in town.

The Lalit Kala Akademi of New Delhi, in association with the Kalahita Art Foundation, Hyderabad, is organising the National Art Week from 22nd to 28th February, at the Kalahita Art Foundation in Nagarjuna Hills. Eminent artists of the city like Laxman Aelay, Dr Anjani Reddy, Fawad Tamkanat, Chippa Sudhakar, Prashant Lahoti, Parameshwar Raju and Koeli Mukherjee Ghose will participate in various discussion sessions, slide presentations and workshops during the week. The schedule is given below:

Great work ... I would like to thank the man behind this event and kalahita foundation mr rahul raju who is the founder "his name is never mentioned by the other members of the kalahita foundation like ppraju and koili as usual" looks like they want to take all the credit for it... Its all because rahul is media shy ... I encorage him to do more such things ...
