In this Chaitime Show, we talk to Dr. David Szanton, President of Ethnic Art Foundation(EAF), about his journey and experiences on preserving the traditional art of Madhubani or Mithila paintings practiced in the region of Mithila in Bihar, India. David talks about The Mithila Art Institute (MAI), a free art school in Madhubani town, founded by EAF with the hope that the MAI would encourage the development of a new generation of Mithila painters. Now eight years later it has graduated some 180 students, many having received national and even international recognition. David also describes many paintings which are dear to him and those paintings are included in this blog.
