When the Light Touches

A day with Samarpan. The launch of Full Emptiness, 47 Years Living Art. A Retrospective

    Welcome to Sawidji Studio & Gallery, home to our art community. Cherishing the honesty of the creative spirit. We are passionate about cultivating art, culture and community spirit in transforming society. As a creative collective, our focus centres on providing appropriate resources for cross-platform integration to aid artists across appropriate commercial channels. All the while staying true to our belief that fine art cannot be the object of continued over-commercialisation.

    Sawidji honours and celebrate our gifts. A home of learning and creation, for those with a desire and appreciation of Nature, Art and all Her gifts.

    What’s on! Community Events

    In addition to our community partners, Sawidji is also an independent fine art studio and gallery. We have regular projects and collaborations with local and visiting artists. In general, our exhibitions are generally every three to four months. It is worth noting that previous exhibitions and collaborations are available in our archives and under ‘Explore Art’.

    Home to Community Values

    Our studio gallery focuses the creativity and resources of our community in a united direction. Relevant and progressive. All the while connected to the rapid changes in the world at the same time keeping strong our unique and special identity.

    Our gallery, network and platform, operate with the values of transparency and teamwork that we believe in. Perhaps most importantly, we are both humbled and proud to share the amazing artworks created by our artists. In truth, artworks carry with them generations of skill and knowledge, as well as valuable life lessons.

    Art Classes and Workshops

    It is important to mention that knowledge sharing is a primary value within Sawidji. We offer workshops and programs that have organic and intuitive methodologies, that incorporate our core values regardless of the discipline. Our programs are steadily growing. You can learn more about classes and upcoming workshops by going to EXPLORE ART.

    Sawidji Art Community Partners

    Sawidji believes in the power of art as a connecting bridge towards positive transformations. We translate this into very real community collaborations. Encouraging a transparent, mutually positive network of institutions, art spaces, and private and retail service providers from within our artist community. In our first two years, we have collaborated with some amazing partners. Therefore we look forward to walking this path together with our friends.

    Along with our passion for the creative drive, there is also our love of history and culture. With that purpose in mind our articles, discussions with artists and interviews with community members offer a very intimate and first-hand view of Balis’ art and culture today. In essence, we dedicate our energies here as a testament to the incredible gifts our heritage has imparted to the creative life we have today. Given this gratitude, it is in this sharing that we hope you will share in its joy and bounty.

    Testimonials

    Very nice art gallery with inspiring artworks from great artists from Bali but also from other artists such as from France or the USA. The location is easy to reach. The owners are very friendly and inspiring. It’s not only a gallery, it’s also a place where Culture events take place. I loved it! – Sabrina Teufel Google Reviewer

    It was great oppotunity to meet Dian who is an aritist and directly listened the back ground of the exhivison for “Red Chair and the white Room” in the last exhivision day. Also Dian let me shared my impression after quick skimmed the all art work and listened my ridicuious story telling. Then she clairified the intension of exhivison and the symbols of red chiken and withe duck one by one. It was honor to hearing an explanation directly from the artist and Manbutur who is photograher also elaborate the current social issue in Bali and what they contributed to solve the issues as an artists. I was glad not only to enjoy the art work but also to know what Sawidji gallery is doing to help the artists and as well as to strengthen the Bali community and inherit the tradition. I was sincerly touched that Sawidji gallery’s mission is to support local artists, to educate young artists and continued tradition from rapidily changing and commericalized Bali society. I am sure I will definitly visit this gallery again in case of visiting Ubud next time and guaranty that visitors will experince genune Bali.
