Painters and stakeholders have complained that the state is still unable to cover art in a strong manner. The speaker of the Nepal International Theater Festival 2025 (Nitfest) session 'Singh Durbar in Villages, Theater in Places' said that the arts sector has been neglected in the eyes of the state.
Chetan Angthumpo of Chulachuli Theater said that although art works are happening in Kathmandu, the local government of the East has not yet included art. "We had 9 wards, after the federal structure came, he did the work of encouraging us for the first time," he said, "but Singha Durbar remained only in Kathmandu." We don't feel it. Art is not included in the annual policy they bring.'
He said that even though the previous agencies made budgets at every local level, art was not included. "If a village has a toilet, why can't a village have a theater?" he asked.
Anita Lama, deputy head of Budhanilkanth Municipality, said that they are aware of art. What do we do in the theater hall? What do we do in the gallery ? Ours is a conscious group. Art is the happiness, prosperity and satisfaction that comes through human emotions . It is art that awakens this feeling,' she said, 'In Budhanilkanth, we have connected different dimensions of art in literature festival . While conducting the festival, we are aware that local artists should be given a platform along with the revival of art and literature of their place. Although there is no theater, she said that they are building it with a plan to connect art genres to 'NP Theatre'. She recalled that she also showed the
children's plays in the Kunch theater. She added that there was a significant participation of art connoisseurs during the 7-day workshop.
Tirtharaj Bhattarai, head of Diktel Rupakod Majhuwagadhi Municipality, claimed that society is complete only when art and music are brought together, so they are developing it . We have tried to connect art, literature and theatre. Recently, we invited artists from the world and held an art program. 213 paintings from 53 countries were created by those artists,' he said. Telling that they recently held a 'bamboo conference' in the municipality, he said that they had organized a program to teach children who are interested in painting how they can play a role in the conservation of red pandas. We are also building a bamboo museum. We are making Diktel the capital of bamboo," he said.
