Following the state mourning on the death of Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, all activities, including programmes and exhibitions, at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy will resume from December 21.

Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy confirmed it in a press release on Saturday.

Chief adviser Muhammad Yunus announced the state mourning on December 20 in an address to the nation, it added.

Considering the situation, all activities at the academy were suspended from December 19 until further notice.

The academy clarified that claiming an indefinite closure of its all activities in some online and social media reports were unexpected and regrettable.
