In an attempt to promote the varied Indian arts, Kolkata will host the CIMA-Awards and the Kolkata Arts Festival in February next year.
The organisers say that the one month-long festival, beginning February 4, will provide an opportunity to discover genuine talent in India, especially beyond the cities with a special focus on eastern India.
"In the second edition of the Centre of International Modern Art or CIMA Awards people from across the world will converge in Kolkata and we are partnering with different agencies to organise this festival, the first of its kind in Kolkata that will serve as a platform for creative minds across the world to meet," CIMA director Rakhi Sarkar told reporters.
Dr Swapan Chakraborty, Professor and Secretary and Curator of Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata, said the festival will provide an opportunity for creative people to show their talents.
IIT Kharagpur will also be a part of the art festival. The engineering institute will present the Science and Heritage Initiative, SandHI, which is envisaged as a confluence of science and technology with culture, at the art festival.
