It seeks innovation and development in all concepts and forms of art and is devoted to exhibiting and discussing the work of important new and established artists working in the medium.[1]

Location

Located in a quiet neighborhood in Dhanmondi, the Dhaka Art Center building offers a light, open space for artists, students and art lovers to meet experience and engage in the discussion of art.[2]

Service and support

The Dhaka Center is proud to sponsor the work of both amateur and established artists through its studio program. The Center houses two artists’ studios: a printmaking studio that offers training courses and work space for eight to twelve artists and an open space studio shared by two artists for a period of three months. The printmaking studio is available for rent. Scholarships are provided to printmaking artists based on merit. Artists for the open studio are selected through an application judged on merit by the Board of Trustees.
