An exhibition, ‘Varnam 2016’, organised by the Singapore Malayalee Association (SMA) with support from the National Arts Council (NAC), will feature over 150 paintings in a variety of media – oil, acrylic, charcoal, ink, etc.
The exhibition is one of the initiatives of SMA to encourage art and culture, and provides a platform for its members to showcase their talents.
