"In 2010 KCAC established Nepal’s first
International Contemporary Arts Centre hosting exhibitions, workshops and
symposia and giving bursaries to emerging Nepali artists. Our art reference
library is the largest of its kind in Nepal, with more than 5,000 books thanks
to major gifts from Tate Britain and many private donors.
In 2011 KCAC was invited to move
to the Patan Museum and we moved into a building in their garden and officially
opened in March 2012 with two important international exhibitions. Pepon
Osorio’s, ‘Resting Stops’, supported by the Bronx Museum, and Antonio Nodar’s
...from portrait to self-portrait... supported by the Elsa Peretti
Foundation."
