The highly regarded children’s creative art program Globalart announced the opening of its first center in Kolkata, signaling its arrival in Eastern India.

The launch was graced by Subrata Gangopadhyay, Indian Contemporary Artist, Sudeshna Roy, renowned filmmaker, Mr. Dinesh Victor, Founder & Managing Director of SIP Academy, Ms. Namrata Mukherjee, Globalart India Business Head, Mr. Yogesh Dassani, State Head – West Bengal, and others.

This milestone further solidifies Globalart‘s position as India’s biggest and most reputable chain of art centers, with its location at Lake Market in the city center.

Currently operating in 23 countries, Globalart has a significant global presence and runs a network of 150 centers in seven states in India. Over the course of the last two decades, the program has trained over one million children. One notable aspect of Globalart in India is that, of its 150 locations, 145 are operated by female entrepreneurs, demonstrating the company’s dedication to empowering women with access to creative and educational opportunities. Numerous graduates of Globalart have gone on to work in a variety of industries, including design, animation, fashion, and the visual arts, demonstrating the program’s transformative power.

Globalart has laid out a bold expansion strategy that calls for the creation of 30 new centers over the course of the following three years, with a clear vision for the Eastern Indian market. In addition to fostering entrepreneurship and giving kids access to a top-notch creative curriculum, this growth strategy seeks to establish a stronger presence throughout the region’s cities and towns.

SIP Academy India, which also operates SIP Abacus, the top abacus program in the nation, is home to Globalart. SIP Academy has been at the forefront of helping more than a million students in India build critical life skills and mold their futures for the past 22 years.

Kolkata’s enduring literary, artistic, and cultural heritage aligns with Globalart’s tenets. The city has long embraced creativity as its identity, from Rabindranath Tagore’s creations to its renowned legacy of artistic and performing arts. This heritage will be carried on by the new Globalart centre, which will use structured creative learning to mold young brains.

With this launch, Globalart reinforces its goal to give kids in Kolkata a chance to explore their imaginations and grow in confidence, self-expression, and creative thinking—skills that will help them survive in a world that is changing quickly.
