Kolkata International Art Fair concludes today
The Kolkata International Art Fair is happening today at the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre (EZCC).
It's the last day, so if you want to see the art, you should go today.
There are 114 artists showing their work, including some from other countries like Norway, Spain, and Bangladesh.
The fair is organized by a group called the Guild of Fine Art and Artists (Goffa) and the EZCC.
They want to bring more art events to Kolkata because many artists usually go to bigger cities like Delhi or Mumbai.
There are also big murals on the walls that show the culture of different states in India.
Some artists are even making a special fund from their sales to help people with cancer.
It's a big event with lots of different kinds of art to see!
The Kolkata International Art Fair is in its final day today, featuring works from 114 artists including international participants.
The fair is organized by the Guild of Fine Art and Artists (Goffa) and the Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre (EZCC).
Seven artworks were sold on the first day, and some were created and sold during live workshops.
Artists are contributing to a cancer fund from their sales proceeds.
The event features large murals depicting the cultural heritage of eight eastern states and a union territory.
The fair coincides with Swami Vivekananda’s 163rd birth anniversary celebrations.
