TARQ, Sanskrit for “discussion, abstract reasoning, logic and cause”, is a contemporary art gallery in Mumbai dedicated to growing a conversation around art from a diverse range of contexts.

Located at Dhanraj Mahal, one of Mumbai’s iconic Art Deco buildings a stone’s throw away from the Gateway of India, TARQ is spread over two floors. Our focus is on maintaining close relationships with our artists and patrons, and to encourage thoughtful acquisitions of art. We plan on showing art that is process driven and provoking. Apart from our regular shows, we are also committed to building an educational structure that enables the art community to grow through thought, discussion and action.

At TARQ, we believe strongly that the key to building new audiences is changing the way we engage with them. As one year collapses into another, TARQ continually seeks to broaden its scope of activities and by extension, its conceptual preoccupations. This vision, we hope, will only grow stronger with time and will have a positive impact on the dynamic art scene of contemporary India.
