aesthetic | authenticity | meaning | connection | relevance
The words or values above, are from 'the seeker's playbook' as indeed from that of 'the art patron'.
The DMG Peer Programme is premised on the idea of 'oneness' as an integrative cultural lens for a new generation of art lovers, collectors and patrons—seeking social and cultural capital within a circle of resonance with artists, curators, art educators, arbitrating institutions and audiences.
Blessed by some of the most formative names on the timeline of modern Indian art—the legacy of Dhoomimal Gallery is distinguished by this shared ecosystem where art, artist, acquisition, empathy and relevance have sustained as connected processes for nearly a century.
From Kabir and Rumi’s mystical poetry, to Aurobindo’s integral yoga, or the simple truths of Nanak and Ramakrishna Paramahansa—seemingly disparate paths of seeking, converge on creative unity. In the contemporary art context, this is our core belief and inspiration in cultivating a platform that brings together artists, collectors, curators, and thinkers within a common, nurturing circle of reckoning.
DMG's Peer Engagement Calendar populated round-the-year, informs and enriches a cumulative view of the art landscape for its members or Peers, with:
- guided access to exhibition previews
- studio visits and portfolio exposés
- conversations, salons and orientation & revelation sessions
- participation in collaborative commissions and limited editions
- cross-disciplinary events, from literature to design and performance, over and beyond art-focused engagements and activations
- guided access to significant art events within the country such as IAF, Art Mumbai and the Kochi Biennale as well as to international art signposts such as the Venice Biennale.
- trends and forecasts related to the international art market, with particular reference to Indian art
- access to DMG's international network of art institutions and advisors for consultations and verifications
- advise and facilitation on restoration, storage, maintenance and insurance of artwork.
These are but a few programmatic instances by which the DMG Peer Programme invests in the interconnected nature of contemporary cultural practice, and our Peers participate in shaping a broader cultural continuum, reflecting the enduring idea that creativity thrives through connection.
We look forward to welcoming you as a Peer!
