Hassan MLA Preetham J.Gowda has said an art gallery would be set up at a vacant building next to the KSRTC bus stand at Channapatna in Hassan. He gave this assurance after inaugurating a painting exhibition at the indoor stadium in Hassan on Friday organised to mark the World Art Day.
For many years, the artist community of the district had been demanding an art gallery to exhibit their works. “I have held meetings with Hassan Deputy Commissioner twice on this issue. We are making efforts to convert the vacant building into a gallery. It would be ready soon”, he said. The MLA said many more young talents should be encouraged and they should exhibit their artworks and earn a good reputation.
