Biju Patnaik Airport has decided to set up two art galleries on its premises soon, where artworks of Odisha's artists will be exhibited and will be available for sale.
"Odisha is rich in traditional arts and crafts and Odia painters and sculptures have created a niche for themselves in the art world. Since Biju Patnaik Airport will soon be converted into an International airport, the art galleries will help indigenous artists get a good platform," said airport director Sharad Kumar. Such art galleries are a common feature in international airports in foreign countries, though the concept is not so popular in India yet, the director pointed out.
