International Sand Art Festival
International Sand Art Festival 2011 in Orissa
International Sand Art Festival is going to be held from 1st December to 5th December along with Konark Festival at Chandrabhaga Beach, Konark, Orissa, India. This is for the first time that International Sand Art Festival is happening in India. Eminent Indian sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik is doing all the arrangements. He is the brand ambassador of International Sand Art Festival, India.
Sudarsan Pattnaik says about sand art form, “Though short-lived, sand sculpture with exquisite sensibility can take you to ecstacy. As an art form, entwined with the rich cultural heritage of artistic Odisha, Sand Art stands apart as a class of its own. Transient though, it leaves an indelible impression on the sands.”
