OUR PHILOSOPHY

Since 2006, Art Mall has focused on collecting paintings and sculptures made by known, semi- established
and upcoming artists. The mission of Art Mall is to become a world-class organization to develop and
support upcoming artists by providing them a platform to reach out to the community, and providing the
community with a one-stop affordable art buying destination. Art Mall believes that India contains a
plethora of talent that goes untapped, as people tend to focus on some limited known artists. Art Mall has
been working diligently and has succeeded in identifying several artists who have produced exceptional
quality art works. These artists usually go undiscovered as they do not have the appropriate and proper
means or infrastructure to showcase their talent. Art Mall provides the artists a medium to display their
work and thus providing the collector, an opportunity to invest in art which has a great potential to
appreciate in the future.

WHAT WE OFFER

Art Mall currently offers paintings, sculptures, graphics, drawings and photographs which are displayed in
over 15,000 square feet gallery space, as one of the largest in the metropolis. Art Mall proudly shares with
you a collection of about 1,000 art works from about more than 500 artists. The quality and spread in itself
is able to cater to everyone's tastes and likes. Art Mall also offers artists (if selected by the committee) to
display their art works for sale online at www.artmall.in.
