Yousfani, the Pakistan Consul General in Sydney who welcome the new

“We will promote Pakistani and South-Asian
art and artists in Australia,” said Shahid Malik and announced his plans to
organise several exhibitions of Pakistani and local Australian artists this
year. “Our first exhibition will be on calligraphic art and the work of many
Pakistani and local artists will be displayed during 12 May exhibition,”
revealed Mr Malik.
Ashraf Shad told the guests that Art On will focus on such
form of art that are usually ignored because they were commercially not
viable.
“The art should not be seen only in terms
of profit and loss. Art On will take this challenge and will promote such form
of art and artists who have no takers in Australia due to the fear of making
losses,” said Ashraf Shad, adding that he has full confidence in the art-loving
Pakistani community who he thought will support the new ventures of Art On.
The ART ON SYDNEY was earlier launched in Karachi in December last year at the
posh Beach Luxury Hotel and got a good coverage in the Pakistani media.
