ROURKELA, October 31: (Report- Sanatan Mahakud): The city of Rourkela witnessed a significant cultural event this week with the grand inauguration of "Kala Srijani 2.0." This much-anticipated artist camp and art exhibition opened its doors to the public on Tuesday, transforming the local Community Center of Sector 7 into a dynamic hub of creativity and color. The event aims to foster artistic expression and honor the legacy of a beloved local artist.
The ceremony commenced with a heartfelt tribute to the late artist Jaspal, in whose memory the Jaspal Smruti Chitralaya organizes the event. Presiding over the inauguration, the Chairman of the Chitralaya, Ramesh Chandra Patra, offered a floral tribute to a portrait of Jaspal. He emphasized the camp's core mission: to promote and propagate art within the industrial landscape of the steel city. 
In his opening address, Patra highlighted the enduring importance of such cultural initiatives. "Events like Kala Srijani are vital for nurturing the soul of our city," he stated. "They provide a essential platform for artists to connect, create, and share their vision with the wider community, ensuring that art remains a thriving part of Rourkela's identity."
This year's edition of the camp has successfully drawn a diverse group of talent from across the region. A total of twenty-five artists from various corners of Odisha and neighboring states have gathered to participate. The artists hail from culturally rich towns such as Sonepur, Sambalpur, Barbil, and Anugul in Odisha, with some making the journey from Raipur in Chhattisgarh, underscoring the event's growing regional appeal.
The inauguration ceremony saw a strong show of support from the local community and art enthusiasts. Notable attendees included Malina Patra, Rashmi Bala Sahu, Binay Bhushan Mahanti, Somyajit T. Garnayak, and Pavitra Patra. They were joined by fellow art supporters Debadatta Mahant, Chitt Ranjan Mahant, Sasmita Sahu, Chaitali Das, Sukanya Mahanti, Jayashree De, Siddhartha Jena, Kewal Tirki, Bharat Bhushan Pradhan, Pratap Pattnaik, Dilip Das, Sasmita Pattnaik, and Ramesh Patra.
The successful coordination and smooth operation of the artist camp are being managed by a dedicated team of artists themselves.
