“Art is awesome and art is my happiness.”

Our story

Grahin means to impart.

Founded in 2011 by a couple who could not stop making things, Grahin began with a simple conviction: art deserves to be taught like any other serious subject, with fundamentals, principles and patience.

So we do not teach shortcuts. A five-year-old learning to hold a brush and a seventeen-year-old preparing for NID sit in the same tradition — observe honestly, build the base, then let the work become your own.

Today we teach across three centres in Mumbai and Thane, from toddlers to senior citizens.

Courses

A ladder that starts at scribbles and ends at art school.

Every course runs in small batches with faculty who practise what they teach.
