2024

This year, we hosted art collection walkthroughs in the homes of Chennai’s renowned collectors, including Narayan Lakshman, Chandra Lulla, and Nirmala Lakshman. We held fun workshops on watercolours with Vellachi, portraiture with Nivedita, and mixed media with Shiva Ravishankar. We also partnered with NGOMogra to distribute menstrual cups to women in Kovalam.

In collaboration with The Hindu Made of Chennai and Indicus Paints, we organised “Madras As An Emotion,” a group show featuring 38 emerging and established artists.

Stay tuned for more events and follow us on Instagram for updates!
