Established in 2017, Cultivate Art has remained dedicated to amplifying contemporary artistic voices, ensuring its contributions continue to inspire and enrich the creative landscape. With teams in Mumbai, New Delhi, and Dubai, they are pivotal in supporting numerous South Asian artists and beyond and developing international collaborations with contemporary artists. Piloted by Farah Siddiqui, the platform has built a reputation for championing emerging artists, fostering cross-cultural exchange, and nurturing long-term artist support.
Envisioned to bridge the gap between creators and collectors, Young Collector’s Weekend Global (YCWG), an initiative founded in 2020 by Cultivate Art, was established to inspire a new generation to view art as a vital and enduring investment in culture, storytelling, and shared legacy. Young Collectors Weekend Global (YCWG) encourages early aptitude for creativity by fostering connections between artists and collectors through exhibitions and events and expanding the reach of unrepresented artists to a global platform.
For the latest rendition of Young Collector’s Weekend Global (YCWG), Cultivate Art is expanding its presence by inaugurating a new space at 8 Cunningham Road, Bangalore, with an exhibition from May 22nd to 26th, 2025. This exhibition gathers an extraordinary amalgamation of emergent and established contemporary artists across India, honouring cultural expression, aesthetic evolution, and the rise of a new generation of art collectors. This exhibition will feature artists such as Harsha Durugadda, Sareena Khemka, Divya Pamnani, Raka Panda, Rewati Shahani, KP Pradeep Kumar, Aninda Varma, Hansika Sharma, Mansie Shah, Megha Madan, Rajnish Channesh, Ahalya Rajendran, Richa Arya, Zarrin Fatima Shamsi, Anni Kumari, Amjum RIzvie, Ahalya Rajendran, and Meera.
“Bangalore is a city deeply invested in culture, technology, and the future. It is the ideal location for this new chapter of Cultivate Art, where we want to reframe art as an experience and an evolving conversation,” said founder Farah Siddiqui. “This inaugural edition in Bangalore reflects the strength of our roster — well-balanced between paintings and sculptures, an exhibit of ceramics and exciting explorations in textiles and other media,” states Girish Shahane, curatorial advisor to Cultivate Art.
The showcase welcomes collectors, design and culture enthusiasts, gallerists, and media. This exhibition allows entry via invitation only. The programming includes guided walkthroughs, artist interactions, and special private events with collector circles.
Young Collector’s Weekend Global (YCWG) will be held at 8 Cunningham Road, Bangalore from May 22nd to 26th, 2025.
