The exhibition has already been shown in Bangalore,

Ahmadabad, Chennai and Mumbai. "It generated a revenue of Rs 21.5 lakh in Mumbai alone in the matter of just 15 days," according to Sudhir Gullaiya, General Manager, Trifed. "It is also an attempt to find a market for artists' works and to see to it that they get the right price for their creativity," he said. They are called during the exhibition so that they know customers' taste and preferences and can also develop negotiation skills adds Gullaiya. The paintings which are priced from Rs 850 to Rs 30,000 showcase four different schools of tribal art- Gond from Madhya Pradesh, Warli from Maharashtra, Saura from Odisha and Pithora from Gujarat. These depict the life of tribals and their routine practises, customs, superstitions and their symbiotic relationship with the flora and fauna. "Earlier we had just 10-15 artists combined from all the schools of tribal art working with us. But now the number is increasing every year", says Gullaiya. "With the the kind of training given by TRIFED the artists have not only realised but also concluded that this is their main stay. For next year, the organisers they are planning to expand the exhibition to 20 cities as compared to 10 this year. After the show ends here on February 24, it is set to travel to Goa, where it will have its last leg.
