About Jaipur Centre for Art
Founded in 1727 under royal patronage, Jaipur was envisioned as a centre of artistic excellence. Its rich heritage in crafts—from pottery to textiles, jewellery, painting, and marble — remains alive through generations of artisans.Today, Jaipur uniquely blends tradition with innovation, attracting creative talent from around the world while preserving its artisanal roots.
Building on Jaipur’s rich artistic legacy, HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur is launching the Jaipur Centre for Art (JCA) in collaboration with contemporary art specialist Noelle Kadar. JCA serves as an art institute featuring an exhibition space for contemporary art and design, alongside artist residencies and public art programs.

TRADITION & TRANSFORMATION
Whitewall’s first exhibition in India, presented at Jaipur Centre for Art, positions contemporary artistic practices within the cultural context of Jaipur, articulating the evolving dynamism of India’s cultural landscape today.
Coinciding with the launch of Whitewall’s Spring Art Issue dedicated to India, the exhibition brings together a dynamic group of artists whose practices centre on notions of revival, material presence, and evolving societal structures. Through their varied approaches, the artists open up a dialogue between inherited forms and emerging change.
By weaving together distinct yet interrelated practices, the exhibition offers a portrait of contemporary India that is layered, and deeply resonant. JCA, as the setting for this landmark presentation, provides a space for these dialogues to unfold — an invitation to engage with the country’s artistic landscape in all its diversity.
