Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath

Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath (Kannada: ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಚಿತ್ರಕಲಾ ಪರಿಷತ್) is a visual art complex located in Bangalore.

Each January, the Parishath organizes Chitra Santhe, a cultural event showcasing affordable art to the public.

The Parishath started off on a two-and-a-half acres of land leased by the Government of Karnataka, with initial donations from H. K. Kejriwal, an industrialist.

The Parishath pioneered a survey of the Karnataka state's art treasures such as the famous Mysore paintings.

In time, the Parishath added galleries and a graphic studio, making it into a full-fledged art complex.
