At the Young Collectors’ Programme (YCP), we are cultivating South Asia’s next-generation arts and culture ecosystem, incubating a new era of patronage by meaningfully supporting emerging artistic and curatorial practices while fostering a dynamic community of artists, collectors, curators, cultural leaders, art workers, galleries, institutions, corporate patrons, and creative partners.

With a robust year-round programme of talks, panel discussions, artist studio visits, film screenings, social events, interdisciplinary exchanges, mentorship opportunities, and cultural experiences designed to deepen engagement with contemporary art and culture, YCP aims to nurture the next generation of art collectors and cultural patrons. The programme culminates in its annual flagship showcase, with the next edition taking place from 30 January – 7 February 2027 at Triveni Kala Sangam, bringing together some of the region’s most exciting emerging voices.

Whether you are beginning your collecting journey, looking to deepen your engagement with the arts, or seeking to connect with a community of like-minded cultural enthusiasts and professionals, YCP offers a unique platform to learn, engage, and participate in shaping the future of arts patronage in South Asia.

YCP Club is an exclusive, invite-only community of the next generation of collectors, artists, curators, and cultural thinkers—coming together to reimagine what patronage can look like today: how support, exchange, and value are built in the arts, and who gets to shape that future. YCP Club offers deeper engagement with contemporary art through curated experiences, private events, studio visits, collection tours, and access to a network of leading voices across the cultural sector, fostering meaningful connections, shared learning, and lasting engagement with the arts.

Designed for individuals committed to actively participating in and supporting the arts ecosystem, YCP Club is for those who are curious about culture and invested in its future.
