Overview

Founded and led by Mrs. Aparajita Jain, Saat Saath Arts Foundation has played an important role in shaping India’s contemporary art landscape through visionary public initiatives. Its first public art project, the acclaimed Art Tiger Project in New Delhi, was created to raise awareness about the alarming decline of India’s tiger population. One of its most significant contributions has been The Sculpture Park, launched in 2017 to bring contemporary sculpture into heritage spaces and make art accessible to wider audiences. The Sculpture Park was India’s first public art contemporary project of its kind. In 2025, the fifth edition marks an important milestone as the project moves to Vijay Garh at Jaigarh Fort - an austere, historic structure newly opened to the public. Once believed to have been a jail and later an armoury, Vijay Garh’s stark architecture provides a powerful setting for contemporary artworks. Curated by Peter Nagy, the exhibition brings together leading contemporary artists working across bronze, ceramic, fibre, stone, stainless steel, and other media. The project continues Saat Saath Arts Foundation’s mission to activate heritage spaces and create meaningful dialogue between India’s cultural past and its modern creative expression. The Sculpture Park remains theme-free, allowing visitors to explore, interpret, and experience art without boundaries. Supported by the Jaigarh Public Charitable Trust and Jaipur Centre for Art, this edition strengthens Jaipur’s growing presence as a global hub for contemporary art. At its core, the initiative reflects how heritage, creativity, and community can come together to create powerful cultural experiences
