First venue booked!
Co-curated and managed by Patter Hellstrom Visual Art / Curatorial the show is filled with fantastic connections between traditional and contemporary subject matter and styles. The Ethnic Art Foundation will share this amazing work throughout the United States for two years. California State University Fresno will be the opening venue in October 2012. Galleries and museums are booking this exhibition through the end of 2013. Plans are underway for a showing in New Delhi, India. The excitement grows as the opening of the exhibition draws near.  Contact project manager, Paul Aaronson (paul@patterhellstrom.com) for more information.
“Over the past several decades, the artists of the Mithila communities have produced an astonishingly brilliant body of works on paper, drawing on their centuries old iconographic traditions and techniques as well as evolving new imagery and approaches that reflect global transformations. I have rarely encountered such a highly concentrated number of exceptionally gifted artists. They are a treasure!”
