Kavi Gupta

Kavi Gupta amplifies voices of diverse and underrepresented artists to expand the canon of art history. Through innovative and ambitious exhibitions, multimedia programming, and rigorous publications, we foster an evolving conversation among international communities about art and ideas.

We believe culture is created by communities, and that representation is a step towards inclusivity and justice. Equity in the art field starts with everyone getting a seat at the table, but it does not end there. Our vision is to seek out and offer a platform to artists whose vitality expands and deepens the cultural conversation, especially if theirs is a voice that has been marginalized due to their identity, their social or political perspective, or their aesthetic position.

Our founder Kavi Gupta established his namesake gallery in 2000, in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Today, we operate multiple museum-quality exhibition spaces at 835 W. Washington Blvd. in Chicago, and 219/215 E. Buffalo St. in New Buffalo, Michigan, as well as a large-scale warehouse conservation center and a dedicated space for research and archives in Chicago's nearby Pilsen. Our publishing imprint, Kavi Gupta | Editions, designs and publishes high-quality monographs, exhibition catalogues, artist editions, and academic texts, while regularly partnering with institutions.

In addition to hosting major exhibitions, and participating in vital international art fairs, we host artist talks, facilitate special programming in support of philanthropic causes, and foster intellectual discourse by regularly bringing artists, curators, and collectors together with academics and experts in the contemporary art field.
