Fine Arts Forum recently partnered with Guardian Life Insurance Limited to organize Guardian Art Carnival at Zilla Shilpakala Academy, Chattogram.

The event was held from 9th to 12th February 2023, and it showcased the works of some of the most celebrated artists in Bangladesh, as well as the works of promising young artists. The event attracted a large number of visitors, including art connoisseurs and members of the general public, who greatly appreciated the beauty and diversity of the country's artistic heritage.

In addition to the exhibition, the Guardian Art Carnival also featured a children’s art competition for budding painters. This competition was a great opportunity for young artists to showcase their talent and receive recognition for their work. It was judged by a panel of renowned artists and art experts, who selected the best works based on criteria such as creativity, originality, and technique.

The Guardian Art Carnival concluded with a certificate ceremony for the winning artists. The ceremony was led by Kazi Golam Kibria – the President of Fine Arts Forum, and was attended by the artists, participants of the art competition and their families, as well as members of the art community.

"We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Fine Arts Forum and to bring the Guardian Art Carnival to life. Art is a powerful tool for promoting the country's artistic talent and fostering cultural awareness among Bangladeshi people, and it is our hope that this event will inspire the next generation of artists and art lovers in Bangladesh," said Mahmudur Rahman Khan, Head of Retail Business at Guardian Life Insurance Ltd.
