The Art House Cafe: Where connoisseurs can enjoy art over coffee or food
The
Connaught Place in New
Delhi is the hub for cafes and restobars. However, there isn’t any
catering to just art connoisseurs. This December, in the heart of the capital,
The Art House Cafe was launched. Curating art works from around 37
international artists and over 50 Indian young artists, the cafe boasts of
being a paradise for those who love art and wish to enjoy it with a cuppa. One
can not only enjoy, but even buy the art work on display. The price of
paintings starts from Rs 5,000 and can go upto millions depending on the
artists.
Varun
Monga, founder, The
Art House Cafe, is an ardent art, crafts and antiques lover. His
decades-long association with both - the government and international agencies
- has helped him hone his taste and understanding. With experience, Monga
decided to float his own venture where he could promote artists, their work,
and help them earn by selling their work through his cafe. “The purpose was to
promote young artists who haven’t been able to showcase their work or don’t know
where to exhibit them,” says Monga.
