It is aimed at reinforcing ties between the two nations, as well as to showcase incredible artwork from some of the finest artists in Pakistan and engage art enthusiasts in Muscat with the country’s cultural and artistic landscape.
"We have held five such art exhibitions in the past six years in which some 52 artists from Pakistan have presented their artwork at OSFA and conducted workshops and lectures on art as well," said one of the members of the organising committee.
"This exhibition provides a new platform for all the art lovers from both Oman and Pakistan to come together and celebrate the true colours of joy," the member added.
