Beyond Silicon Valley: Resurgent Fine Arts aims to put Bengaluru on global art map

Bengaluru, Nov 6 (UNI) At a time when technology and artificial intelligence are increasingly dominating public discourse, a former corporate executive is attempting to put art back into the centre of society, with an ambitious vision of transforming Bengaluru from India's Silicon Valley into a global hub of artistic expression.
Through Resurgent Fine Arts, Nirmal K Bharadwaj, an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur and IIM Ahmedabad, is seeking to address one of the biggest challenges confronting emerging artists — the absence of a sustainable market for their creativity.
The initiative, which recently organised an exhibition at the refurbished Venkatappa Art Gallery in Bengaluru, has brought together six artists from different regions and artistic traditions, offering them a platform to showcase their work and connect with potential buyers and art enthusiasts.
