Kala Karya Gallery was designed as an alternative space to support the ideas of creative individuals and communities. Featuring modern tropical architecture, its 75 sqm gallery area is made alive with art and design programs open to the public. Kala Karya was founded in 2020 and since then works primarily as a contemporary gallery dedicated to emerging artists and designers presenting their works to the public by exhibiting curated showcases; enabling open dialogues and universal conversations. Kala Karya is also open for commercial use to meet the needs of creatives and professionals.
I founded Kala Karya Gallery as an alternative space to support the ideas of creative individuals and communities. Featuring modern tropical architecture, our 75 sqm gallery area is brought to life with art and design programs open to the public. Kala Karya's core principles are Art, Business/Brand, Culture, Design, Entrepreneurship, and Forward Vision.
Since our inception in 2021, I have primarily focused on establishing Kala Karya as a contemporary gallery dedicated to emerging artists and designers, presenting their works to the public through curated showcases, enabling open dialogues, and fostering universal conversations. Additionally, Kala Karya is open for commercial use to meet the needs of creatives and professionals.
