Every year Kota Schools Art Exhibition is organized at Kota Art Gallery.

The purpose of the Schools Art Exhibitions is to simply encourage creative education in schools and to help students discover & develop an interest in various art forms.

The first Kota Schools Art Exhibition was organized in 2015.

And since then, it has been organized every year in the month of January by the Kota Heritage Society.

Various other organizations like Lalit Kala Academy, Indian Institute of Craft & Design, Eklavya, Sachetan, Kota City Blog have contributed to multiple editions of this exhibition.

What’s special about it

Every year, we see something completely new happening at Schools Art Exhibition. Like in the 4th Edition, the theme was Sports & Traditional Games which is brilliant & bold for an art exhibition.

It’s also interesting to see different schools participating in an exhibition when competition is not even on the agenda.

For the past 2 years, Kota Schools Art Exhibition couldn’t take place because of the pandemic. We hope it gets organized in 2022.
