Today Khovar and Sohrai art on high quality handmade art paper may be found around the world only at exhibition venues or at select outlets in very limited numbers, since the art is not being mass produced. It carries the genuine village ambience, and for which each painting exported from the Cooperative is personally curated by Bulu Imam. In March 2000 five tribal artists worked on site for one month at the Djamu Gallery of the Australian Museum in Sydney to create artworks. 2000-2001also saw exhibitions of the artworks in Cymroza Gallery, Bombay, Rebecca Hossack Gallery, London, Crafts Victoria, Melbourne, Bellevue Gallery, Berlin, Gallery Therese Dion, Montreal. In September 2003 the art was exhibited in the Boras Kunstmuseum, Sweden, and exhibited during the Asia-Pacific-Weeks at the Heinrich Boell Foundation in Berlin and the Volkerkunde Museum, Heidelberg. In 2004 the art has been exhibited at Ludwigsberg in southern Germany,  and at the State Museum of Ethnography (Volkerkunde), Dresden. Today Khovar and Sohrai art forms have entered Museums and National Galleries in Australia and other countries, and have come in the syllabus in art departments around the world, including India. Artists and their works have been compared with Picasso and Matisse, and the art of Juliet has been compared with Miro by Dr.Kapila Vatsyayan. The Khovar and Sohrai tribal art being brought to paper is one of the great developments of art in modern times. Sanskriti is the exclusive centre for this art.
