The Abinta Gallery of Fine Arts in Dhaka has launched the seventh edition of 'The Little Artist,' a group exhibition showcasing 200 artworks by children from 65 schools across Bangladesh. Inaugurated by renowned artist Rafiqun Nabi, the three-day event features paintings in watercolor and pastel that explore themes of national festivals, nature, and cultural history.
This initiative by the Abinta Kabir Foundation serves as a vital platform for youth engagement, bridging the gap between English-medium and Bengali-medium students through creative expression. By selling the displayed works to raise funds for children's welfare, the event reinforces the role of art as a tool for both community development and the cultivation of the next generation of Bangladeshi artists.
