ABOUT US
Contemporary Indian Art Gallery
.
Art Pilgrim, a contemporary Indian art gallery, was set up 20 years ago at Hauz Khas Village, New Delhi. Working with old masters and young contemporary artists, the gallery evolved with a distinct style and identity of its own. Large shows, successful presentations at events like the India Art Fair, a gallery in London helped the gallery build its own network and space. Today it is known for the quality of art (especially sculptures) and most importantly its integrity.
Driven by the need to empower young artist, creating their future while deepening the art market at the same time, we believed that we could create great value by bringing diverse minds together, collaborating and creating a new energy and ecosystem for tomorrow – one that included artists, collectors, patrons, architects and the gallery.
The idea for Art Incept was born from this.

Our Team
Gayatri Singh
(The Driver and Dreamer)
While she walked into a ready art business, she wanted to do more. She felt the art market was limited to a few. The same works were seen in every house and every art fair! Young artists who were doing amazing work were getting little attention. In fact, many brilliant minds were being forced to leave their practice!
Her passion is to empower tomorrow’s artists by creating a comprehensive ecosystem for new generation artist, collectors and patrons. She believe that this generation will put Indian art on the international map! Art Incept was created as a platform that mentors them, guides, supports and showcases emerging talent.
