Established in 1997 in the historic Jew Town, Kochi, Draavidia Gallery holds the distinction of being the first gallery of contemporary art in Kochi. Founded by renowned Kerala poet [Founder's Name], our vision was to create a vibrant platform for artists across various mediums, fostering creative exchange and innovation.
Since its inception, Draavidia Gallery has played a pivotal role in shaping Kochi's contemporary art landscape. We proudly hosted the first solo exhibitions of many talented artists, launching their careers and providing crucial exposure. Our gallery featured works by esteemed senior artists, promoting appreciation for their contributions to contemporary art.
Our pioneering spirit led to the establishment of the first art residency programs in Kochi, nurturing artistic growth and collaboration. We organized art camps, bringing together artists and fostering creative dialogue and experimentation. Our platform welcomed arts from diverse mediums, including music, poetry, theatre, and interactive programs, encouraging cross-pollination of ideas.
Over two and a half decades, Draavidia Gallery has become synonymous with artistic expression, community engagement, and cultural enrichment. Our commitment to contemporary art continues to inspire generations.
With our new space, we embark on an exciting journey, expanding our scope and outreach. We invite art enthusiasts, artists, and the community to join us in celebrating the vibrant spirit of contemporary art.
