Then the exhibition showed the huge display of excellent artwork by kids and adults. A number of community leaders attended even though it was a day of downpours and thunderstorms: Anjai Chowdhary Lavu (TANA), Kiran Reddy Pasham (ATA), Venky Gadde & Vinay Maddineni (TAMA), Niranjan Prodduturi (GATA), Ramesh Valluri (Atlanta Telugu Samskruti), Viju Chiluveru (Maitri), and Ramesh Chaparala. It was truly an astounding accomplishment, both by the artists and by the organization.
Some imaginative art…
…and some realistic.
Some colorful art…
…and some black and white.
