Palace of Fine Arts

The soon-to-open Jaipur Art Centre could bring its setting, the City Palace, back into the cultural life of the city

- Neha Kirpal

A new landmark hopes to put Jaipur at the forefront of the global contemporary art discourse with the opening of the City Palace in November. The Jaipur Centre for Art (JCA) is the culmination of the vision of former royal Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur and contemporary art specialist Noelle Kadar (in picture). The 2,600 sq. ft public space will hold thoughtfully curated exhibitions of Indian and international artists as well as a unique artist residency programme.
