About

At a glance

Kanoria Centre for Arts brings exhibitions, studio practice and arts programmes together near CEPT in Navrangpura. A current gallery show or advertised public activity gives visitors a clear reason to explore this working creative institution.

Institutional story

Founded in 1984 by Urmila Kanoria with support from B V Doshi and the Ahmedabad Education Society, the Centre developed as a non-profit arts environment. Its teaching and studio functions remain important, so the setting is more than an exhibition hall.

Urmila Art Gallery

The gallery, opened in 2011, hosts solo and group exhibitions in a purpose-designed space associated with Doshi. View the current announcement before visiting. Contemporary exhibitions change, and a past installation should not be treated as a permanent collection.

Look and compare

Choose a work that holds your attention and consider its material, scale and relationship to the room. Read the artist’s statement where available. A focused encounter with a few works can be more useful than trying to classify every piece.

Programmed activities

The Centre advertises artist presentations, workshops and courses, alongside its Urmila Kailash Black Box performance space. Check the audience, date and registration conditions for the chosen activity. Enrolment in a course and admission to a public exhibition are different arrangements.

Working studios

Artists’ studios form part of the Centre, but their presence does not establish unrestricted visitor access. Ask about a guided tour or specifically advertised studio presentation. Respect a closed workspace and leave artists room to work without interruption.

Hours and fees

Institutional hours are published as 9:30 AM–7:30 PM, with Sunday closure, while gallery sessions depend on the exhibition arrangement. Confirm the actual public activity. Published gallery-hire rates are charges to exhibitors and must not be confused with visitor admission.

Find the Centre

Use University Road opposite Gujarat University, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad 380009. Kanoria is distinct from nearby Amdavad ni Gufa, though the two can be planned together when open. Allow a suggested hour for an exhibition, with additional time only for a booked programme.
