The Himalayan Art Council stands as a vibrant center for the arts, with a focus on the rich and varied traditions found throughout the Himalayan region, including Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, northern India, and beyond. The Council recognizes that Himalayan art is not only a reflection of spirituality and history but also a living tradition that continues to evolve.
Our collection spans centuries, embracing both sacred and secular works, from ancient thangkas, sculptures, and ritual objects to contemporary paintings, installations, and multimedia art. We are committed to exploring how artistic practices in the Himalayas are shaped by geography, religion, daily life, and cultural exchange.
The Himalayan Art Council is dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying, and sharing the artistic traditions of the Himalayan region. Our mission is to foster understanding, appreciation, and promotion of the diverse artistic heritage that flourishes across the Himalayas, connecting communities and generations through creativity and culture.
The Council safeguards fragile art forms and artifacts, ensuring their longevity for future generations.
We support scholarly research and maintain detailed records to deepen the understanding of Himalayan art.
Regular exhibitions, both permanent and rotating, highlight historic masterpieces and showcase new works by living artists from across the Himalayas.
Through workshops, lectures, school programs, and digital resources, we invite the public to discover the stories behind Himalayan art and artists.
We collaborate with local communities, artists, and institutions to celebrate shared heritage and encourage creative expression.
Himalayan art is more than heritage, it is a living national treasure of Nepal. From sacred paubha scrolls to temple frescoes and silverwork, these pieces carry centuries of spiritual knowledge, craftsmanship, and cultural identity. Yet many of them remain inaccessible, locked away in remote monasteries, at risk in private collections, or stripped of context in foreign markets.
The Himalayan Art Council exists to protect and elevate this legacy. We work to bring sacred art into public view, not just for admiration, but for preservation, scholarship, and national pride.
Through AI and private blockchain, we create digital certificates that guarantee authorship, provenance, and cultural integrity, protecting artists and collectors from forgery, while also honoring the spiritual origin of each work. Our platform allows invited artists to securely-certify their creations, ensuring that Himalayan art remains authentic, traceable, and respected, now and across generations.
Our exhibitions, research initiatives, and artist programs are designed to treat Himalayan art not as museum relics, but as living forces, works that continue to shape Nepal’s identity and inspire the world. With each certified piece, we’re building a public archive, a scholarly resource, and a cultural future rooted in dignity and truth.
