Lalit Kala Akademi to reach out to northeast

Agartala -  The Lalit Kala Akademi is reaching out to the young in the northeast in its hunt for hidden talent, its vice chairman K.R. Subanna said Thursday.

“A regional center of the Akademi will soon be set up in Agartala to encourage people in northeastern states,” Subanna told reporters after the inauguration of a four-day northeast contemporary art fair here.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar inaugurated the fair where painters and sculptors from Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya and Sikkim took part.
