Kala Bharati Arts & Media - Preserving India's Artistic Heritage

Our Story

Founded in the vibrant city of Chennai, Kala Bharati Arts & Media has been a steadfast beacon for Indian arts and culture for over two decades. Our journey began with a profound love for the artistic tapestry of India and a deep concern for the fading visibility of many traditional art forms in the modern world. We envisioned an organization that would not only celebrate the grandeur of Indian art but also actively work towards its preservation and promotion.

From humble beginnings as a small collective of art enthusiasts, Kala Bharati has grown into a respected non-profit organization, recognized for its unwavering commitment to nurturing artistic talent and fostering a deeper appreciation for our cultural heritage. Our mission is rooted in the belief that art is not just an aesthetic pursuit but a vital expression of our identity, history, and collective consciousness. We strive to bridge the gap between traditional art forms and contemporary audiences, ensuring these invaluable traditions not only survive but flourish for generations to come. We are located at 45 Nehru Street, 2nd Floor, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600001, India. For any inquiries, please contact us at +91-44-24328000 or email us at [email protected].

Over the years, Kala Bharati has initiated and supported numerous projects, ranging from film productions that capture the essence of Indian culture to digital arts workshops that empower young artists with contemporary skills. Our engagement with traditional art forms like sculpture, painting, and pottery is deep-rooted, and we actively conduct classes and workshops to keep these art forms alive. Furthermore, our art restoration projects stand as a testament to our dedication to preserving historical artifacts and artworks for posterity. Our gallery management services provide a platform for both established and emerging artists to showcase their talent to a wider audience. Through every endeavor, we remain committed to our core values of integrity, passion, inclusivity, and a deep respect for the artistic heritage of India.
