way," said Kishore Kumar Dass, an Assamese artiste. The paintings of the award-winning
artistes were exhibited on the final day at the camp. "The local artists, who

the environment and also the local cultural heritage. "It is an opportunity for
the local people, that they can see lots of works, senior painters, national awardees,
are working on the same platform. They are inspired. They have the opportunity
