It is an activity of Orissa Modern Arts (a non-profit organisation) established for the promotion of Orissan contemporary art, artist and artisans. The Orissa Modern Art Gallery was founded by Mrs.Karen.Kent from U.S.A and Tarakant Parida, an Orissan Artist (print maker) and Inaugurated by Mr. G.N.Mohanty, The Director Of Tourism On 2nd April 2001 as a non-profit endeavour to promote contemporary Art, Artists and Artisans of Orissa. This Gallery has also got “ The Certificate Of Registration Of Societies ACT XXI OF 1860 “having the Rgd No.-5387-426 of 1993-1994. However, it is the first and only contemporary Fine Art Gallery existing in the State, offering a large collection of contemporary arts and crafts from Orissa for betterment of their artistic status. Besides these The Orissa Modern Art Gallery provides the permanent exhibition of contemporary works of several artists from Orissa, which encourages the consciousness not only among the artists, artisans but also the art lovers, visitors and buyers in the state. We have experienced by five years of it’s operation that the response to the Gallery is so positive and it’s contribution towards the art ,artists, artisans and tourists is so prominent with a growing advantage. The concept of the Gallery is to provide a permanent exhibition of contemporary art works in a growing collection of more than 800 pieces which remains open for seven days in a week . In addition to the high quality-exhibition it provides the appropriate space, proper attractive lightening for special exhibitions by individual artist, groups and organizations etc. What makes the Gallery different from other activities, that the provision of marketing and an active support for promotion of art, artists and artisans within Orissa, whole in India and abroad in the international level. This is the only platform of the Orissan artists to survive through their works in the state and abroad. Since it’s inauguration more than 20,000 visitors have been attracted towards gallery and more than 600 works have already been sold. The works of more than 125 artists have been promoted by the gallery. Out of them more than 60 artists have earned their income from the sale of their works through the gallery. The artists represented the range from the most senior artists of Orissa and to the next generation of established emerging artists and finally the best among Orissan’s yet to be recognized younger artists and students. We think that there is much evidence that the gallery has made considerable progress towards achieving the ultimate goal during it’s short span of life. The objectives of the gallery has also designed in such a way which can enable the artists to continue their devotion in the field of the contemporary art and further for the enrichment of the Orissan culture as given below: We have a permanent exhibition of more than 200 local artists in the gallery many of whom have been benefited from the sale of their works through the gallery which enabling them to continue their devotion on the contemporary art field and our Orissan culture all through their lives.

We have attractd many Indian and Foreign visitors towards the gallery who have recognised the importance of the gallery as evidence by many tributes expressed in the visitors book and many valuable comments have been given verbally. We have gained the interest and the support of media in Orissa including electronic and paper media coverage there by reaching out to the wider public response significantly through these achievements .
