Art is a medium that helps us in understanding the world around us. It allows us to expand our perspective so that we gain a deeper and more plural understanding of the past and the present. Art fosters empathy and emotional intelligence, creating a space for us to imagine an harmonious and interconnected future together.
The KMCC provides an environment that nurtures creativity, technical skill, and critical thinking in its students.
By encouraging artistic talent and innovative expression, we aim to cultivate the next generation of visionary artists who will contribute meaningfully to the global arts community.
The Kerala Museum is committed to harnessing the potential of “museums as agents of social change,” promoting tolerance, respect, diversity, equity, and inclusion, as central to its policies and practices, outreach programs, collections and exhibitions.
Our philosophy for teaching art is transdisciplinary, hands-on and interactive, focusing on holistic development of each student while supporting peer-to-peer learning for collective growth. Expert instructors guide students on their transformative journey, at the end of which they put on an exhibition of artwork.
