A committee has been formed to look after all arrangements, including accommodation for artists from outside Puducherry, she said.

Sand image exhibits and workshops on water colours are also part of the events.

Chief Minister N. Rangasamy will inaugurate the road show.

Those interested can collect the application forms at the Sega Art Gallery on Needarajapier Street on payment of entry fee of Rs. 250. Last date for applications is February 15.

The logo for the event was also launched.
