TCT WORKSPACE is a five-acres arts centre based in Uksan village- Kamshet, set amidst the rural landscape of the Western Ghats. Located between the artistically vibrant cities of Mumbai and Pune, it is built to facilitate national/international artist exchanges, training programs and the creation of new performance work. Born out of the artist’s need for time, space, research and training, it provides practitioners with the environment and opportunities to explore new ideas, refine skills, share creative knowledge & grow in vision and craft.

OUR SUPPORTERS

 

TCT Workspace stands today thanks to contributions from friends, well-wishers and art lovers from all over India; most crucially, from the fine arts community of India whose generous donations were the first financial pillar towards establishing this arts centre. The Workspace opened its doors to artist residencies in March 2012.
