Kala Samvad group opens at TAJ

Kala Samvad staged its 3rd one-day group art exhibition at Taj Art Gallery in Mumbai on April 24, 2026. (kalasamvad.in) The show was held inside The Taj Mahal Palace in Colaba and ran from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. A VVIP preview was scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (kalasamvad.in) Kala Samvad listed Rajkumar Sharma’s platform as the organizer and named Mumbai artist-curator Nandoo Sarswati, who holds a Master of Fine Arts degree, as curator. (kalasamvad.in ) (kalasamvad.in) The format was built as a one-day group survey rather than a long-run gallery exhibition. Kala Samvad said participating artists could display up to two paintings, each up to 24 by 24 inches. (kalasamvad.in) The event page also framed the show as an artists’ branding and promotion exercise. Kala Samvad said it would provide digital catalogues, digital certificates, photographs, media coverage and no commission on artwork sales. (kalasamvad.in) That structure places the Taj exhibition somewhere between a conventional curated show and a paid showcase model. Kala Samvad listed a contribution fee of ₹16,000 and said selection would be first-come, first-served. (kalasamvad.in) The April 2026 event was the third Taj edition in a series that Kala Samvad has been building for more than a year. Its events page lists earlier Taj Art Gallery editions on January 24, 2025, and April 25, 2025. (kalasamvad.in) The second edition in April 2025 featured 34 artists, according to Kala Samvad’s archive page, giving a sense of the scale the platform has used at the venue. (kalasamvad.in) A YouTube post published after the event said the 2026 edition had been inaugurated at TAJ Art Gallery in Mumbai, offering public confirmation that the show opened as scheduled. (youtube.com) For Kala Samvad, the Taj date extends a repeatable exhibition circuit: one day, one landmark venue, and a roster of artists using the platform for visibility and direct sales.
