The Lalit Kala Akademi, National Academy of Art, is organising the 65th National Exhibition of Art (NEA), one of the most prestigious annual exhibitions of contemporary visual art in India.
The exhibition provides a national platform for artists to showcase their creative practices and for audiences to engage with the diverse and evolving visual arts of the country.
The 65th National Exhibition of Art has received an overwhelming response from artists across India. The Akademi received 6,175 artworks from 2,495 artists representing 27 States and Union Territories. Following a rigorous selection process, the First-Tier Jury selected 270 artworks for presentation at the exhibition.
The selected works reflect a wide range of artistic practices, materials and techniques, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing and mixed media, among others.
The exhibition demonstrates the richness of contemporary Indian artistic expression and the continuing engagement of artists with new materials, ideas and forms.
The Second-Tier Jury, constituted to select the award-winning works, selected 20 artworks by 20 artists for the Lalit Kala Akademi Awards.
The 65th National Exhibition of Art is not only a platform for artistic recognition but also contributes to the strengthening of India’s creative economy. By bringing artists, audiences, collectors and institutions together, the exhibition creates greater visibility and professional opportunities for artists.
The display and sale of artworks also enable artists to receive direct economic benefits, supporting their artistic practice and contributing to a more sustainable ecosystem for the visual arts.
