Prussianblue / Gaya Art Exhibitions

About this place

Prussian Blue Art Hub and its attached GAYA Art Gallery are among Ernakulam's notable independent art spaces, combining a contemporary exhibition gallery with an active centre for art education and creative practice in Kochi. Located at Metro Pillar No. 823, Sahodaran Ayyappan Road, opposite Radisson Blu, Elamkulam, Ernakulam, the venue has established itself as a destination for artists, students, collectors, and art enthusiasts through its year-round programme of exhibitions, workshops, and painting classes. Founded by artist Suresh T. R., Prussian Blue Art Hub offers structured training in various visual art mediums, including watercolour, acrylic, oil painting, charcoal, and mixed media, catering to children, beginners, hobbyists, and professional artists. The adjoining GAYA Art Gallery functions as the exhibition space where both established and emerging artists showcase their work through curated solo and group exhibitions, creating opportunities for local talent to present their creations in a professional gallery environment. The gallery regularly hosts exhibitions featuring contemporary paintings, abstract art, watercolour collections, figurative works, landscape art, and thematic showcases that reflect diverse artistic styles and creative perspectives. Recent exhibitions have included "Chrome Yellow," "Liminal Lines, Eternal Spaces," "Watercolour Postcard," and "Gateway to My Soul," demonstrating the gallery's commitment to presenting a broad range of contemporary visual art while encouraging artistic dialogue within Kochi's growing cultural community. In addition to exhibitions, the art hub organizes painting workshops, portrait sessions, seasonal art camps, creative skill-development programmes, and interactive learning experiences that help participants develop technical skills under professional guidance. These educational initiatives make the venue an important resource for aspiring artists seeking formal instruction as well as individuals pursuing art as a recreational activity. Prussian Blue Art Hub also contributes to the city's wider cultural landscape by supporting local artists through exhibitions, collaborative events, and opportunities to display their work beyond Kochi. As part of Ernakulam's expanding independent gallery circuit, the venue complements larger cultural institutions and international events such as the Kochi-Muziris Biennale by providing a permanent platform dedicated to fine arts throughout the year. Its accessible location in Elamkulam makes it convenient for residents and visitors interested in exploring Kochi's contemporary art scene, while its combination of gallery exhibitions and educational programmes creates an engaging experience for audiences of all ages. According to the gallery's published visitor information, the venue generally operates between 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM, although exhibition schedules, workshop timings, participating artists, and visitor information may vary depending on the programme. Official exhibition calendars, class schedules, workshop registrations, and event announcements are published by Prussian Blue Art Hub and GAYA Art Gallery through their official channels for each exhibition and programme.
