Annual Art Fair - Kolkata Lalik Kala Academy

Kolkata Lalit Kala Academy is always buzzing with art activities throughout the year, guided by Sidharth Ghosh. I was very fortunate to visit Kolkata at this piont in time to witness their annual art fair, which had exhibits of Terrakota sculptures, Ceramic sculptures, bronze casted sculptures, Graphic prints, Paintings and also few crafted leather pouches by Shukla Bhattacharjee.





Oil paintings by fellow artists who work spare time at the Lalit Kala were exhibited ranging from Rs 2000/- to Rs 15000/-

People admiring the pieces shown at the exhibits:



A lot of figurative works; bronze-casted sculpture, one lady with mobile crafted with cement and also terrakota works were for sale and exhibition.

The print studio at the Rastriya Lalit Kala has very good facilities which artists make use to bring out their editions, here is Sidharth discussing finer aspects at the venue where prints were for sale.
