Arts Foundation
"The Ethnic Arts Foundation is a non-profit organization founded
in 1980 dedicated to the continuing development of Mithila Painting.
The EAF supports several different activities. It purchases paintings
directly from scores of painters, then organizes or co-sponsors exhibitions
and sales to individuals, collectors, and museums. Profits from sales
are then returned to the artists, in effect providing a double payment
for their work. The exhibitions also expand national and international
appreciation of the painting tradition. The EAF also underwrites research
and publications on - or using - Mithila paintings and Mithili society.
In January 2003 the EAF established a free Mithila Art Institute in
Madhubani to further the training and opportunities of talented young
Mithila painters."
