flag of art flying in Kalimpong. After so much of hurdles in the past four
years of its inception, the Association has finally settled to a permanent
place at Upper Court Road.
Now the Association can expose their talents to the world
through painting exhibition at the recently settled permanent place at Cart
road.
Sikkim’s former Forest Minister T Lachungpa will inaugurate
the said ‘Kalimpong Art Gallery’ on September 12.
Addressing the press conference, the General Secretary of the
Association Tika Pradhan today said that they had no places before to exhibit
their paintings.

their talents through exhibition he added. The Hotel and the Restaurant
Association and the Driver Association has assured of providing help to the
Association informed Pradhan. The tourists can please their minds with paintings
along with the knowledge of the culture and the tradition of the place he
