Kanchan Art Gallery

Our gallery is located down in the basement of Shubham Apartment over in Bani Park. It’s at D-255 on Devi Marg, so you have to look for the sign and then come down the stairs. Being in a basement means it stays a bit cooler than the street level, which helps during the summer months. We spend a lot of our time moving frames around and trying to find space for new pieces that come in. It gets dusty pretty fast, so there is always a lot of cleaning to do on the glass and the floors. We have been in this neighborhood for a bit and know the rhythms of the street outside. Most of the work involves just sitting with the art and making sure everything is where it should be. Sometimes it gets quiet, and other times a few people wander in at once to look around. We don’t have a big staff, so whoever is here usually does a bit of everything, from answering the phone to packing up things for people to take home. It’s a bit cramped with all the different works leaning against the walls, but that’s just how we manage the space we have. Bani Park is a decent area to work in, even if parking on Devi Marg can be a headache for people visiting us. We just focus on the daily tasks and keeping the gallery open for anyone who stops by.
