We are currently hosting a show by renowned artist Aditi Singh. The opening night was a wonderful evening graced by the music of sarangi master Sabir Sultan Khan. Heiko was on the tabla and Moqtader, a young Afghani vocalist also joined. The event took place in our home which we built to support the purpose of having a gallery downstairs and ‘open house’ upstairs where we hope to continue to invite and celebrate talent in an intimate and exclusive fashion. We hope this venture will create a more consistent and visible space for Indian contemporary art in the Dutch art environment. You will find some more details on @sacart.ams
