Kaladhar Art Gallary

We are tucked away in the Hema Industrial Estate in Matunga East. Our unit is number 22. It’s near the Sarvodaya Nagar area and not far from the Kabutar Khana. It’s a bit of an unusual spot for an art gallery, being in an industrial estate, but it works for us. The building has that old industrial feel to it, and it can be a bit noisy with the other units working nearby. We have different types of art on the walls and stored in the back. It isn't a fancy gallery like some of the others in the city. It’s a bit more down-to-earth. We spend a lot of time dusting the frames and moving things around to make space for new pieces. The lighting is something we’re always messing with to make sure everything looks okay. People who come to visit usually have to look for us a bit, but that’s fine. We don't have any big corporate goals or anything like that. We just like having a space where art can be kept and shown. The area around Matunga is always busy, but once you come inside the estate, it feels a bit different. We handle everything ourselves, from talking to visitors to packing up pieces for transport. It’s a lot of physical work, more than people think. We just keep things moving and enjoy being surrounded by the work every day. It’s a quiet life most of the time.
