Academic interest among artists

The growing academic interest among Nepali artists should be productively addressed.

A common interest that is growing in recent years among Nepali artists of different genres is engaging in academic studies. This is an interesting development for an academic and art reviewer like me. I have some experiences to share. We developed interart studies at the Central Department of English several years ago, and made art an important part of literary studies. We used the canons of literature and arts to promote interart studies. As a Nepali literary writer and a critic, I had some responsibilities in such studies, which was creating a bridge between Nepali artists and literary writers.
