The Next Chapter at Monalisa Kalagram

Monalisa Kalagram is proud to present the second edition of The Next Chapter — a thoughtfully curated exhibition featuring works by young, emerging artists from six distinguished art colleges in and around Pune. This initiative reflects our deep belief that a gallery must not only celebrate established voices but also nurture the future of the art world — voices still forming, questioning, and exploring.

This exhibition brings together a compelling body of student work selected and mentored by leading faculty members from:

  • Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya – Curated by Prof. Satish Kale
  • Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Fine Arts – Curated by Prof. Sanjay Bhalerao
  • Devrukh College of Art and Design (DeCAD) – Curated by Prof. Avadhut Vinayak Potphode, Srikant Jagushte & Ranjit Marathe
  • MIT School of Fine Art & Applied Arts – Curated by Prof. Milind Dhobley, Prasad Nikumbh & Shil Kumar
  • Sahyadri School of Art, Sawarde – Curated by Prof. Manik Yadav
  • SNDT - Curated by Prof. Vikram Kulkarni& Santosh Shirshat

The Next Chapter is more than a student show — it is a space for experimentation, raw talent, and the bold ideas shaping the artistic language of tomorrow. It reflects the spirit of academic mentorship and offers these young creators their first formal platform for public viewing.

What: The Next Chapter – Second Edition: Curated by Lisa Pingale, Founder–Director, Monalisa Kalagram
When: July 26–August 10, 2025, 11am to 7pm
Where: Monalisa Kalagram, Koregaon Park, Pune
