Art plays an important role in the development of any nation and represents a set of shared attitudes, values, goals and practices. Over a period of time, the Indian art scene has been dominated by few artists, who are aggressively promoted across India and abroad. There is a plethora of talent in India, unfortunately, many artists are not able reach out and the art world remains monopolized by a few, making it highly expensive and unaffordable.
