Art Display/Exhibition - Karnataka Chitrakal Parishat - 2015

Hello Everyone,

This blog is about the arts exhibition held by Karnatak Chitrakala Parishat (a government body) in Bangalore, which encourages the artists from every corner in India. There were more than 1000 artists participated and I made sure to visit the event for the whole day. This was held on 04-Jan-2015 and it was crowded with art lovers.

I liked different types of art displayed and learned more buyers' likings and interests. Many of them were looking for abstract or even impressionist paintings. It was very colorful but some of the important things that i would like to point out here.


As a fine art artist, one should have a proper pricing strategy for the paintings displayed and should be able to explain more on the same. One other important thing i noticed is that nearly 99% of them had no idea about self-promotion. It just felt like, they are all waiting for some magic to happen. Just had no idea about the business part of it. There are so many topics discussed in art world including pricing strategies, self promotion, building relationships etc.

I was surprised to hear from some artists, that they don't even know the exact size of the canvas/painting that they painted. At the end of the day, i felt that, in this era of technology, when people don't make use of needed tools, i would simply assume that they are struggling more. Technology is here to help us to take our efforts to the next level.

Any ways, it was a good event that government and other sponsors are promoting artists around the country.
