About Mission
Merakii Art House was founded in June 2017 with an aim to help artists with unique skills and talent. We focus on guiding and helping artists who have just started their journeys and imbibing in them the correct knowledge about art. No matter what the age is, if there is talent and enthusiasm. We will guide you throughout. While curating exhibitions and organising camps we aim to make it a learning process for all the artists. Our goal is to help artists grow and help art grow in India.
About the Founder
Chandni Gulati, The founder of Merakii Art House is Graduated from College of Art, New Delhi. She is a Visual Artist and curated Art Exhibitions In Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur. Keshav Malik Memorial awardee in college has also received a Gold medal from the International Women's Organisation (UNICEF) in 2010.
"I want to create an art friendly environment through my camps and exhibitions. All Artists have a different language in art and every thought they portray should be brought out to the world"
Merakii Art House, as the word ‘Meraki’ means doing something with creativity, soul or love, is a one-stop for all the art lovers –the ones who make art and the ones who adore art – under one roof. Art is a free spirit and can come to anyone, But not every ‘anyone' gets the chance to showcase their potential of love for the artist that might be budding inside them. All that ‘anyone' needs is a chance and a little appreciation. This is the time when Merakii Art House comes into play. Merakii Art House is not only an Art Organization, but an initiative to bring all the young and talented artists to showcase their artwork to the world. Well, if you are not young but still have that young artist inside you, we’re for you too. All we care about is the budding artist inside you who needs to showcase their magic of colors on the canvas. Art saw no bar, and so do we. It doesn’t matter from which state you belong, what your age is, what qualifications you have, or what style of your art is. Merakii Art House works to support real talent.
The canons of art history are fluid and changing. And it’s the role of curators to come in, make sense of it all, and present a picture of where art will head next. They act as stewards, activate ideas, draw connections, bring attention to lesser-known artists and overlooked regions, and highlight topics
that warrant a deeper conversation. And as political and social mores continue to shift, acting as a dedicated arts connoisseur is only part of the job description. For many curators, their posts come with the responsibility of mediating between three active players: artists, institutions, and the public.
Since taking the reigns as the founder and curator of ‘MERAKII ART HOUSE’, New Delhi-born Ms. Chandni Gulati Aggarwal has produced one elegantly executed exhibition after another, featuring talented artists. Merakii is all set to host another art exhibition titled Unarchived at The Visual Art Gallery, New Delhi. From the 3rd to 6th June 2022. The show opens on the 3rd June 2022, at 4 pm.
This Exhibition is an initiative to promote young talent and encourage the new artists trying to make a mark in the art industry. It is Titled Unarchived which means bringing something back to the original place, where it belongs. This exhibition is to celebrate the talent and letting the audiences witness pure talent and expression. Artists have suffered a lot during the Covid -19 pandemic, with absolutely no platform or opportunity to disseminate. This show exhibits the emotions experienced during tough times through visual art.
Artists from different parts of the country will be displaying their unique artworks in Oil, Acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media.
