Mr. Sultan Ali Allana, Chairman, HBL in his keynote address said, “It is incumbent for societies to recognize the tremendous value of the arts and the need to honor and nurture artists.” Stressing the importance of supporting artists, he said, “patrons are facilitators for artists to grow, to develop, to dream and to construct works, which become signifiers of civilization.”
Mr. Allana emphasized the need to commit to encouraging more spaces for public art so that the public is able to engage with art in order to spark imagination and reflection, thus opening doors to new horizons.
