The story of VHC Art Gallery | Vida Heydari Contemporary

VHC Art Gallery | Vida Heydari Contemporary is the contemporary art gallery in Koregaon Park, at Marvel Alaina, Lane 8, and the practical thing to know is that it opens Monday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM and is closed on Sunday.

Britannica-style listings on the gallery’s own website give this address, while a press profile says Vida Heydari, originally from Iran, launched the gallery in Pune after falling in love with the city. Another profile describes VHC as a recently launched contemporary art space in Koregaon Park, and says it was opened with the inaugural show Origins of a Perennial Bouquet. That exhibition was curated by Bose Krishnamachari and presented work by Benitha Perciyal, Manish Nai, Sudarshan Shetty, Sumedh Rajendran and Tanya Goel.

LinkedIn describes VHC as an international art gallery in Pune specialising in contemporary art and representing established and emerging artists across a variety of mediums and genres. A fair listing says it was founded in 2020 and focuses on museum-quality exhibitions, art fairs and cultural programs.

Koregaon Park around you is a residential area that has also grown into a commercial hub, so this gallery sits in a neighbourhood where art, dining and nightlife now overlap. If you want to visit, the gallery’s website is vhc.art, and the contact number listed there is (+91) 853 086 0888.
