National exhibition opens from Dec 18

Islamabad: Two-month long 9th National Exhibition would be held here at Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) National Art Gallery from December 19. Prior to the big event, PNCA organised a series of regional exhibitions representing all provinces which were given relevant context according to the cultural heritage of the land. The reoccurring theme of culture connects the work of artists from different regions, as it becomes a point of intersection for people itself.

An official of PNCA told this agency that the exhibitions represented the land, life, people and the cultural diversity of Pakistan which culminated into National Exhibition as the work for National Exhibition was selected by competent committees from all regional exhibitions. The exhibition includes works of almost 500 artists from all over Pakistan, in the first National Exhibition being held in the new building.
