Founded in 1991 by New Delhi based gallerist and arts patron Mrs. Uma Jain in memory of her late husband Sh. Ravi Jain, the Ravi Jain Memorial Foundation honors a legacy of championing young artists from around India.

A pivotal figure in establishing Indian art on the global stage during the 60s and 70s, Mr. Jain believed that the arts thrive on the constant infusion of fresh talent, and was a passionate supporter of the emerging voices in Indian art, many of whom went on to become some of the country’s most influential artists.

The foundation nurtures new artists across India and the global South, and annually provides a creative platform to support and showcase emerging artists.
