Wanting to set up a creative space in Gurugram where different genres of art can be translated into actuality and unleashed with ease, Shailja’s Studio (one of the city’s rare art spaces founded by an artist) was founded in October 2021 by Shailja Jain, a veteran artist.
At its new address on Golf Course Road, Shailja’s Studio has now transformed into Shailja Art Gallery.
Shailja Art Gallery serves as an art gallery and creative platform under one roof; a space where all arts are equal. This spacious 1,524-square-feet art gallery seeks to spotlight senior artists to collaborate with their genius alongside lesser-known creative savants from across the country — be it smaller towns or villages. A love for visual arts exhibitions, performance arts, book releases or even poetry recitals underlines each event.
Shailja Art Gallery hosts painting and installation exhibitions, organises documentaries and talk shows on and by renowned artists, holds workshops of myriad genres, facilitates book releases, and even gives a stage to poets, musicians, and dancers for live performances.
In short, Shailja Art Gallery is your go-to destination in Gurugram for all kinds of creativity!
As a veteran of myriad forms of fine arts (with a special love for abstract human paintings) and enthusiast of all kinds of creativity, the ever-smiling Shailja Jain is a lifelong member of The Art Society of India, and The National Centre For The Performing Arts (NCPA), Mumbai.
The inception of Shailja Art Gallery is a result of this love for all forms of creativities.
Pink hues of a Bougainvillea tree shine bright beyond the windows, with cameos by playful monkeys adding to the youthfulness of the visual. The chaos of the streets is silenced by an in-house vintage record player, which further helps ignite the creative bug cosied within every guest. Pristine white walls accentuated further with targeted and individualised focus lights, re-centre attention on the displayed artworks, while solid wooden tables paired with stools work great for table- top displays, interactive sessions, and workshops.
Located on the 1st floor of Suncity Business Tower, Shailja Art Gallery offers an escape from city life. Its prime location on Golf Course Road makes it easy-to-reach for those coming by road and metro, both. Those opting for public transport can take a metro till Sector 54 Chowk Rapid Metro from where Shailja Art Gallery is less than 200 metres away.
