An art exhibition organised by the associate students of Kathmandu University School of Arts is currently being held at the Park Gallery, in Pulchowk, Lalitpur. The exhibit features a total of 42 artworks by 24 artists from ten countries, who are taking career support classes at the University. 

Speaking to the Post, coordinator of the exhibit, Sanjeet Maharjan, said, “The exhibition is a non-credit programme organised by the graduates to commercialise their artworks and in turn encourage them to continue with their creative endeavours. The students participating in this exhibit are not professionals. Rather, they are art enthusiasts at the dawn of their artistic career.” He added, “The exhibit does not follow a certain theme and has on display paintings based on different art techniques and subjects.”

This is the fourth iteration of the exhibition. 

In his artists’ statement, one of the featured artist, Carpenter Eric Todd, writes, “Under the tutelage of Sanjeet Maharjan for about three years, I started from the basics of shading and pencil sketches and then transitioned to charcoal and colour mediums, including acrylic and watercolour. My experience during the process has been immensely fulfilling and I am hopeful that this exhibit will help me level up my artistic endeavours in future.” 

The exhibit was inaugurated on May 28, by the Dean of School of Arts of Kathmandu University, Dr Sagar Raj Sharma. 

The exhibition concludes on Friday, June 2.
