OMG Nepal
Art for Humanity brings more than 200 works by over 160 artists to the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts in Naxal, with proceeds intended to support flood relief. The exhibition opened on October 5 and is scheduled to continue through October 14, according to Onlinekhabar’s October 6 report.
The initiative connects an exhibition visit with fundraising for people affected by the Bhotekoshi floods. Nepali Times also reported on the artists’ relief effort ahead of the opening.
How the proceeds are intended to be shared
The organisers’ stated allocation is 70 percent to the Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund, 10 percent to an artists’ relief fund and 20 percent to the participating artists.
Those percentages describe the announced arrangement. They do not establish the amount raised or confirm that transfers have already taken place.
Visiting the exhibition
The venue is the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts in Naxal. Confirm opening hours directly before travelling, especially if you are making a special trip or hoping to buy a work.
The range of participating artists gives visitors a reason to spend time with the exhibition beyond its fundraising purpose. For buyers, the next practical details are the work’s price, the sales process and documentation of the purchase. The scheduled closing date is October 14.
