A Page from History

An excerpt from Spring Spree '07's newsletter, Spreedom of Speech (SOS) on Chitr 2007...

Away from the busy hub of spree a quiet little corner lies tucked away where the breath-taking creations of the nation's budding artists are put on display. A sense of calmness lies in the aura of the place and as soon as you enter it, all your mundane worries melt away as the myriad of colours and curves soothes all your senses. Yes, what else can this heaven on earth be, but Chitr, the National Level Art Exhibition that has been made a grand success thanks to the never-ceasing efforts of the Painting Club of NITW.

Everything in the arrangement of Chitr is perfection. Simply decorated with great elegance, the STPI now looks like it has been touched by a magic wand and converted from an empty hall to a place filled with the most beautiful of all art works and bustling with activity. The number of entries in the exhibition is nothing short of amazing. Not only were the entries of the participants displayed, but the breath-taking paintings of the judges were also put up for the admiration of the general public. Each work of art that has been put up is something that has reached the zenith of technique in its own genre.

This time, the newly resurrected Photography Club of NITW has joined with the Painting Club to take Chitr a step further to include under its purview photography along with paintings, sketchings and cartoons. This welcome change of exhibiting photographs has added to the grandeur and splendour of this already grand and successful exhibition, Chitr 2007.
