The Best Art Galleries In Pune

Pune is famous for many things—from its weather to its education centers to its neighboring hill stations. But hardly does anyone talk about its art avenues. It isn’t true that Pune doesn’t have art galleries worth talking about. You might have to look a little harder, but Pune has a lot of options for art lovers. There are both high-end art galleries and smaller, more off-beat venues, depending on what you prefer. Check out these art galleries in Pune and get transported to a different world.

Gyaan Adab

Known mostly for its book readings and poetry sessions, Gyaan Adab also hosts art exhibitions in the indoor space. Located in Kalyani Nagar, Gyan Adab hosts exhibitions of abstract paintings, murals, and conceptual sculptures. The place also hosts workshops on painting, mask making, and sculpting.

Tilting Art Gallery

The Ishanya Mall has set up the Tilting Art Gallery to try and encourage visitors to get interested in art. The art showcased at the gallery ranges from abstract to straightforward to devotional. In December last year, the mall hosted the first Ishanya International Art Festival. It was a four-day event that acted as a platform for artists, art galleries, art buyers, and connoisseurs to exchange ideas.
