ABOUT

Our Roots

Carpe Arte is a play on the Latin ‘Carpe Diem’ and encourages you to Seize the Art.
An art enthusiasts organization, We aim to build a community that supports Indian contemporary art by engaging with it and making it more accessible through talks, gallery walk-throughs, workshops, VIP previews, visits to private collections and visits to artists studios.

Art is an important part of our history and it is important that we support it but this can only happen if we engage with it.

The art world can be daunting, we help simplify it by giving you access to all the information, inviting you to join us when we attend events and encouraging you to ask questions – we truly believe there are no stupid questions when it comes to understanding art.
