Exhibition of Prints | On The Spot Shoot, Share & Win | 23-24, August 2025 | 11 AM to 6 PM | Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath
August 19 is globally recognized as World Photography Day, commemorating the art, science, and history of photography. This day traces its origins to 1837, when French inventors Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce developed the first photographic process – the Daguerreotype
There can be no celebration without member participation. We all take many pictures and post them on digital platforms. But nothing comes close to a print, framed and displayed in the prominent and prestigious gallery, The Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath!
At YPS, we proudly celebrate this occasion year after year with exhibitions, contests, and activities to honor members’ creative contributions to photography.
This year, on August 23rd and 24th, we bring for you:
‘FRAMES 2025 – Panorama: Widen your World’

Submit your pictures of any genre. We will curate, print, frame, and display at The Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath on 23rd and 24th August. Participation is exclusively for members and you get to take your framed canvas print after the exhibition
