About Ganges
Since opening in September
2007, Ganges Art Gallery has organized and curated shows and retrospectives for
an array of modern and contemporary artists from India and elsewhere in the subcontinent.
These exhibitions have showcased the works of not just established but also upcoming
artists working in painting, sculpture, video, photography and new media and whose
practices are significant within cotemporary art and culture. One of our aims is
to expose emerging talent through exhibitions at the gallery and participation in
select international art fairs.
Located in a large, refurbished colonial structure in what is fast becoming Kolkata’s
gallery hub, Ganges Art Gallery and its shows have received favourable reviews in
newspapers and periodicals. We are looking to expand our presence overseas by engaging
in strategic partnerships with museums and galleries of note in Asia, Europe and
the United States.
Owned and managed by Smita Bajoria, Ganges is, in the future, looking to go beyond
the boundaries of a traditional art gallery by hosting talks, art appreciation courses,
film screenings and book readings. Our endeavour is to be a centre of creative and
artistic excellence in a city synonymous with cultural activity.
