Opening reception for Madhubani art exhibit

“Radha-Krishna” by Prajakta Badri.

There will be an opening reception with Lincoln resident Prajakta Badri for the “Madhubani Art: A Glimpse Into an Indian Folk Art Form” exhibit at the Lincoln Public Library on Sunday, Feb. 11 from 2–4 p.m. Madhubani painting is a traditional art form that originated almost 2,500 years ago in the Mithila region of Bihar, India that typically tells stories with colorful images. The pieces by Badri (a clinical pharmacologist who works in drug development) depict traditional Indian mythological stories, Boston landmarks, and even Native American dance.

The exhibit will be up until February 24. Click here for information on exhibits.
