Kalaveshi Arts
STUDIO & GALLERY
Kalaveshi Arts Studio/Gallery is located in Avon, CT, and is owned by a family of artists, Drita Choy and her daughters, Njomza and Saranda Kalaveshi, originally from Kosovo, who moved to Connecticut from New Mexico. They were brought back together during the COVID-19 pandemic after having lived apart for a decade, and within a few months of living and creating art together during the difficult days of quarantine, Kalaveshi Arts was born. First came art festivals and exhibitions in New Mexico, then the website, and finally, after relocating to Connecticut, the physical location.

OUR MISSION
At Kalaveshi Arts, we aim to celebrate and nurture the artistic spirit within our community. As a family-owned gallery, we are dedicated to providing a welcoming and inspiring space where local artists can showcase their talents. In June 2024, we began hosting juried exhibitions, which have been met with great enthusiasm and support, further fueling our passion to take this vision even further. Now, we are expanding beyond the gallery to include a vibrant studio space, where we will offer art classes, paint nights for adults, kids' birthday parties, private events, and summer camps. We know this is an ambitious undertaking, but our passion for the arts and our community continues to inspire us. By creating another space where people can come together to paint, learn, and express themselves, we hope to contribute to the thriving creative energy that surrounds us.
