Kaveri stressed how crucial collaboration is, stating that partnerships increase the effectiveness of these occasions.She added "Up to now, Artscape has managed to sell more than 150 artworks and organize over 800 workshops.

Her goal is to grow the gallery's recognition both within the country and worldwide, enabling local art to reach new audiences across borders".

The upcoming plan for Artscape Gallery is evident promote a community of artists, support them with shows and classes, and establish a robust network of partners. Kaveri thinks that by forming partnerships and connections, they can increase their visibility and have a bigger impact.
