Samaveta: A collective vision of Nepal’s emerging artists

The creative voices of a new generation of Nepali artists converge at the Nepal Art Council, Babar Mahal, in “Samaveta: MFA Graduate Show 2026,” an exhibition showcasing the works of 20 Master of Fine Arts (MFA) graduates from the Central Department of Fine Arts, Tribhuvan University. Opened on July 1, the exhibition presents a compelling collection of paintings, sculptures, installations, and printmaking that marks the culmination of two years of intensive artistic practice.

The title Samaveta, a Nepali word meaning “together,” aptly reflects the spirit of the exhibition. While each artist presents an individual body of work shaped by personal experiences and artistic inquiry, the exhibition stands as a collective testament to the dedication and growth of the graduating class.
