Ncell announces ‘Kalaajatra’


NCELL, in partnership with Kathmandu Contemporary Art Center (KCAC), has announced a month-long art festival—Ncell Kalaajatra—to promote Nepali art. The festival will offer contemporary arts, paintings and sculptures, while amateur artists will get a chance show their expertise. The exhibition will be held at G/H Gallery in Patan Museum from August 16 to September 6, showcasing the work of around three dozen artists. A cartoon and sculpture exhibition will also be held at Siddhartha Art Gallery, Babar Mahal. For the exhibition, more than 50 students from four art colleges and universities from Nepal are preparing, taking every day workshop at Nepal Fine Arts Academy, Naksal, from senior artists. “Kalaajatra is our humble initiative to support and promote Nepali arts. It will provide amateurs with unique opportunity and experiences to work go together with professionals and showcase their talent,” said Sanju Koirala, corporate communication director at Ncell, at a press meet here on Friday. Besides, KCAC will organise a carnival that will witness writers and theater artists participating with colourful paper-Mache and other artistic creations on August 24. At the end of the carnival, artists from Arohan Gurukul Theater will perform a drama.
