A walk through the Venkatappa art gallery, located on Kasturba road, Bengaluru, introduces one to the creative prowess of one of Karnataka’s stalwarts of Indian art, K.Venkatappa, a nationally renowned painter, sculptor and an accomplished musician. Some of the landscape paintings and plaster of Paris bas reliefs on display are representative of his mastery in various media. He was known as ‘KALYOGI’, he was an embodiment of humility who shunned publicity, isolated himself to the practise of the arts and wished to remain a ‘student of art’ all his life as he felt his ‘knowledge of fine arts is a drop in the ocean’ and this was the reason he decided never to get married.
He died in 1965 and so in his memory and to honour his contribution in the services of fine arts., the VAG was established in 1974 by the Karnataka state government. The prestigious Varnashilpi Venkatappa award is also instituted after his name.

VAG was intended to function both as a museum holding the works of K. Venkatappa as well as becoming a space for artists from all over Karnataka to use for their arts practice. It also houses the collections of KK Hebbar and the sculptor Rajaram. KK Hebbar, an internationally acclaimed painter from Karnataka, donated his collection to Venkatappa Art Gallery in 1993. The Government of Karnataka also bought some of his works.
The gallery has hosted umpteen group shows by students and emerging artists.. VAG has also been the place which hosted the International live Art Festival, CoLab, India Foundation for the Arts Public art presentations and the Ananya Drishya talks by artists which have been open and free for the public.
Venkatappa Art Gallery also played host to the seventh Khoj International Artists’ Residency in Bangalore in December 2003..

THE BANGALORE FORT...
It’s a story about a chieftain of an empire who dreamt of creating a city that was as beautiful as Hampi . And so he even created a beautiful and charming city bordered with mud fort .That city has now grown leaps and bounds. Probably, he would have been happier to see the progress of the city if he would have been there. Yes, that city within the mud fort is none other than Bengaluru! The legendary was Kempe Gowda 1 who was the chieftain of Vijayanagara Empire in 1537 AD.
The fort was later on renovated with stones by Hyder Ali in 1761 after he took back the city from the King of Mysore....The fort was later on inherited by Tipu Sultan..
At present , the only heritage that has remained is the Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace , the Venkataraman temple , the Delhi Gate and the two bastions that could stand the testing times....
