premier Art Colleges across the country who attended ‘Samhita’, the
Seminar-cum-Workshop hosted by the College in September, 2011, according
to College Principal Prof M Vijayamohan.

their creative works, the young minds have touched all aspects of life
from land acquisition to Anna Movement, Baba Ramdev to Lalu Yadav,

their talent to the external professional field and create avenues of
opportunities for them to establish lasting foot-holds for future
security and financial gain. Also, it is an important and a much awaited
event for their interaction with Art Connoisseurs, Curators, Art
Galleries, Artists, and students of other institutions, he said.
