Eminent artists like Kanayi Kunhiraman and B D Duttan have already offered support to the project, he said.
"The project is planned to be carried out with the support of state cultural and tourism departments. Sponsors will be identified soon for getting enough funds. We expect to launch the programme by Onam festival season (September)," he said.
The collector said it would not only help conserve the elegance of old structures in the city, but also provide a medium for the artists in the state.
The authorities have also plan to provide a permanent canvas on the compound wall before the Fine Arts College here.
Interested artists could seek permission from the authorities and draw whatever he or she wants on the space and it would be removed after one month to give chance for the another painter, he added.
