Origin

In the early 1950s, a need for a full fledged art institution in Bangalore was felt by the renowned Russian painter Svetoslav Roerich who used to reside in Bangalore.^[1] He discussed this with his industrialist friend H K Kejriwal and both of them approached Devraj Urs, the then Chief Minister of the state of Karnataka with a request to grant land to construct an art complex in Bangalore.^[1] Devraj Urs was enthusiastic about this idea but indicated that they should partially finance this venture with a promise that the Government of Karnataka would release twice the amount collected by them. Kejriwal agreed to donate Rs. 500 thousand from his foundation and as per the promise, the Government of Karnataka released Rs. 1 million to finance this venture.^[1] The Government also released two and a half acres of land on Kumara Krupa Road in Bangalore to house this art complex. A Chitrakala parishat trust was formed whose important trustees were S M Krishna, the then Minister of Industries in the Karnataka Government, Nagarathnamma, the Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly along with Svetoslav Roerich and Kejriwal.^[1] Later trustees included Ramakrishna Hegde and Jeevraj Alva. The founder secretary was Prof. M.S. Nanjunda Rao.

Growth

Dr. Svetoslav Roerich donated several of his paintings and those of his father Nicholas Roerich to the Parishat. In its initial years it started holding art exhibitions at various places in Karnataka and India and also started conferences and workshops related to art and culture.^[2]. Nanjunda Rao's Chitrakala Vidyalaya was added to the Parishat in the year 1964.^[2] In the year 1966, it obtained recognition as an art-centre by the state and national Lalit Kala Akademi (academy of art). One of the pioneering activities undertaken by the Parishat was to conduct a survey of the Karnataka state's art treasures such as the famous Mysore paintings. This survey was hugely successful in cataloguing the art treasures and this also lead to lot of studies and research on the various arts found. ^[2] With time, the Parishat added galleries and also a graphic studio making it into a full-fledged art complex. In 1993, an INTACH (Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage) centre at Bangalore was started with the help of the Parishat. In 1995, Mr. Kejriwal donated his family's art collection which were displayed in spacious galleries in the Parishat. In 1998-99 a sculpture gallery was also added to the Parishat complex. An open-air theatre to cater to the needs of the visual and performing artists is also present. In 2003, two more large galleries for international and folk art were also inagurated. One of the important events organised annually is the Chitra santhe (art bazaar) which is a sale of art objects in which hundreds of artists from all over India participate and sell their art work to the public.
