KNMA’s Art Hours is creating new ways for Delhi and Gurgaon to come together through art.
Make this summer all about creativity and trying something new. We are bringing a series of family & artist-led workshops to UTSAV The Square, GMR Aerocity, creating new ways to engage with art across the Delhi–Gurgaon region.
This is the one of many creative experiences we will be bringing in the months ahead.
