The art camp, with the theme ’Brightening The Spirits With Art’, is an exceptional initiative, said visual artist Bishwajit Goswami, also an Assistant Professor of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Dhaka University.
“This is the most effective, creative interaction in society during this pandemic as the fund would be collected from selling the paintings by artists at the art camp,” he added.
“I personally appreciate this noble initiative,” Goswami said, urging people to come forward to save the country and the people.
