Conceived in 2007, Amal­gam Exhibition showcases works by senior artists while also serving as a platform for young Nepali artists and some visiting international artists. The seventh edition this year features the works of 40 Nepali artists including Aditya Aryal, Bidhyaman Tamang, Dipak Lama, Gopal Kalapremi Shrestha, Hari Adhikari, Hit Man Gurung, Ishan Pariyar and Sushma Shakya.

In addition, four guest art­ists—Birendra Pratap Singh, S.C. Suman, Seema Sharma Shah and Uma Shankhar Shah—are the part of the exhibit this year. This edition of Amalgam embraces mul­tiple mediums, as well as a small selection of prints by Printmaking Nepal featuring works of Lok Chitrakar and Late Manuj Baba Mishra.

Providing a rare insight into the contemporary art scene of Nepal, the exhibition spills over from the Babar Mahal main gallery into the outer Pipal bot as well. On Sept 8 and 9, there was a rare oppor­tunity to learn raku ceramic technique with master artist Gopal Kalapremi Shrestha. The main exhibition is open until September 28, 12 pm-5 pm, every day
