Find More About Us

Brihatta increases the value and vitality of communities by improving cultural access to art and the visibility of it. “Brihatta” translates as “immensity” in English, and the team’s motto is to apply that meaning, unfettered by intellectual or artistic restraints, into the works undertaken by the foundation in giving back to the community. Focused on the creation and curation of art within the public realm, Brihatta is a dynamic liaison between artists, craftsmen, local and expat community members, and global practitioners to place art within a space that achieves shared goals.
