The paintings on display here are on different media like Oil
on Canvas, Watercolors, Mixed Media, Etching, Lithography and many
more. The prices range from Rs 3000/- onwards, and each work of art is categorised
individually, displaying the name of the artist, media used, cost and size of the canvas. Some of the paintings are not for sale. There are a number
of exhibit halls in the
first floor of the Parishat, which include the Roerich and
Kejriwal gallery. The paintings of Nicholas Roerich have been placed in two different
galleries called Roerich I and II. The paintings are arranged in an orderly fashion
at a convenient height with adequate illumination to bring out the depth in these
paintings. And then there are the Chitrakala Parishat Collections, a permanent exhibition
of the paintings collected by the Parishat over a period of time. The Chitrakala
Parishat is open to the public on all days between 10 am and 5 pm.

A
recently concluded exhibition called "Exposition 2000" had a collection of works
created by the students of fine arts, which included Posters, Cards, Calendars,
Photographs and many more which came under the category of "Applied Art".
The idea behind this was to apply art to all possible fields and use it as a medium
of communication.
