The Hindu Heritage Centre in Rotorua announces the International Coffee Painting Exhibition, featuring celebrated artist Uday Korde from Gujarat, India. Sponsored by the Gujarat State Lalit Kala Academy, the exhibition is set to take place from 18 to 20 October 2024.
Uday Korde, a master of Rangoli, painting, coffee portraits, and sketches, is well-known for his innovative use of coffee powder as a medium.
