Micro-art artist Ramesh Sahoo organized a press conference in Kolkata to throw light on his dream of making a Micro-art museum in Siliguri.

The artist has been taking the art to a national and international level. He has been bestowed with different honours due to his contribution to the sphere of micro art.

Speaking at the press conference, he mentioned how he had been trying for many years to make a museum where his 2000 plus works could be stored for future generations. He had contacted government officials and even written them letters, but to no avail. They have not responded back to his requests or queries.

The artist’s eye sight is not so good with age and hence he wanted to impart his knowledge on micro-art to future generations so that they could take it forward.

With the help of the press meet, Ramesh Sahoo wanted to make the people aware of this art form and also make the government take necessary steps to preserve the art form.
