Gallery Sanskriti based in Kolkata is one of the<br />

oldest art galleries in the city. In 2015, it celebrates<br />

twenty-five years. The gallery enjoys much goodwill<br />

amongst artists and art collectors alike. Gallery<br />

Sanskriti has had the privilege of hosting solo shows<br />

of, such luminaries of contemporary Indian art<br />

such as, Akbar Padamsee, Laxma Goud and Yusuf<br />

Arakkal amongst many, many others from all over<br />

the country. However, Gallery Sanskriti’s primary<br />

focus has always been Bengali artists, for this region<br />

is rich in its artistic and creative heritage.<br />

Few other galleries can claim such archival<br />

supremacy in Bengal art. Therefore the exhibitions,<br />

planned for the year-long, twenty-fifth anniversary<br />

celebrations of Gallery Sanskriti, begin with a<br />

‘Tribute to the Bengal Legends’, with a group show.
