RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Arts Council (RAC) on Thursday opened a group exhibition showcasing the work of local artists from Rawalpindi.
The exhibition was inaugurated by PML-N MPA Tehseen Fawad, and was attended by students and art enthusiasts.
Featuring over 70 paintings, the exhibition depicts nature through landscapes, cityscapes, sketches and figurative imagery. The artists utilised various mediums, including watercolours, pen and pencil and oil on canvas.
