Multifaceted artist Poonam Arora has established a new art studio called 'Studio Art Life' in NAC, Manimajra, Chandigarh, to support both emerging and established artists. The studio opened with a multi-artist exhibition featuring 14 artists, 22 paintings, three sculptures, and a collection of decoupage artworks, running from October 30 to November 2, 2025. Arora, who previously struggled to find exhibition spaces as a solo artist, aims to provide a collaborative platform for artists to create, exhibit, and connect.
This initiative matters because it addresses a gap in Chandigarh's local art infrastructure, offering a dedicated space for workshops, discussions, and exhibitions that can revitalize the Tricity's art culture. By fostering community and providing professional opportunities for artists at all career stages, Studio Art Life could help strengthen the regional art scene and encourage greater public engagement with contemporary visual art in Chandigarh.
