About ARTSCAPES
ARTSCAPES is a Non-Profit,
Non-govt organization
Artscapes is a non-profit, non-governmental organization, founded in 2011, dedicated to fostering creativity and amplifying women’s voices in the visual arts. Since its inception, Artscapes has emerged as a pioneering force in India’s contemporary art landscape, committed to dismantling gender barriers and providing women artists with a vital platform to experiment, express, and gain recognition. Its flagship initiative, the Annual Women Artists’ Art Exhibition, launched in 2012, has grown into a landmark event on India’s art calendar, bringing together diverse practices from across the country where contemporary, folk, and experimental works coexist and converse. Over the years, the exhibition has become a much-anticipated forum for dialogue, innovation, and recognition, supported by eminent juries and offering both creative visibility and encouragement to women artists. Beyond exhibitions, Artscapes enriches the cultural ecosystem through workshops, seminars, art camps, and public talks that nurture emerging talent, foster creative exchange, and make art more accessible to communities across regions. Guided by the belief that art transcends boundaries of gender, class, culture, and social norms, Artscapes has consistently championed inclusivity and collaboration, while encouraging experimentation and cultural exchange.
In recognition of its contribution to art and culture, Artscapes was honored with a State Award by His Excellency Gulab Chand Kataria, Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Chandigarh, on Independence Day 2026. Today, Artscapes continues to shape India’s contemporary art landscape by inspiring artists and audiences alike, cultivating future generations of creative talent, and advancing the vital conversation about the role of women in the evolution of art.
