Khanam Art Gallery, a leading hub for creativity and cultural expression in Prayagraj, proudly announces its National Artist Workshop, a one-day event celebrating five remarkable years of artistic excellence, learning, and community engagement.
Founded by renowned artist and educationist Dr. Zaheda Khanam, the Gallery has consistently championed the transformative power of art—encouraging self-expression, inclusion, and dialogue through colour and creativity.
