As part of our mandate to promote art students from Odisha, we support scholarships for graduate artists to pursue a Master’s in Fine Arts in reputed universities outside Odisha. The idea is to enable them to hone their core competencies, as well as, synergise their specialised skills with emerging trends in the contemporary art world. For the year 2020 – 2021, five such graduate students were selected for IPCA MFA Scholarship.
