However, soon, artworks and masterpieces by famous Rajasthani artists will be on display... on a vehicle! In Arty Gallery , in a bid to promote art in remote areas, has bought a van. This gallery-on-wheels will be equipped with modern facilities like an LCD projector and will travel to different cities and places where there are no art galleries, to host art exhibitions.

Jaipur Art Gallery has curated such iconic exhibitions as Indian Landscapes (2012), Indian Portraits (currently featured in Jaipur), Continuum (on the Progressives, 2011), The Printed Picture (on printmaking, 2012), all of them spanning periods of two to three centuries. A biannual series, Manifestations, is now nine editions old and among the gallery's most important sequence of exhibitions for the rarity of works exhibited.
The building in the heritage precincts has been sensitively restored. The character of the facade as well as the integrity of the interiors has been maintained. Architectural firm Morphogenesis has used elements from the building to create icons within the space. When the mind first explored a routine thing to reveal its beauty aspect, or a skilled hand of artisan packed into a thing of day-today use the power to inspire and delight, is not known, perhaps beyond human memory.
