Welcome to Gallery 6, Islamabad’s Largest Privately Owned Art Gallery

Established in March 2008, Gallery 6 is dedicated to showcasing the rich and diverse landscape of Pakistani art to audiences worldwide. Over the years, we have proudly hosted more than 125 exhibitions across Pakistan and five international exhibitions in Australia, India, and the USA.

Our extensive collection features a wide array of drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures by master, established, and emerging artists—each piece reflecting the originality and creative brilliance that define Pakistani art.

In 2015, we launched the national biennial Arjumand Painting Award, recognizing and nurturing emerging Pakistani painters with cash prizes exceeding one million rupees. Additionally, Gallery 6 has pioneered numerous art-related initiatives, including:

  • Art auctions: Introducing Pakistan’s first automated app for art auctions.
  • Art retreats: Hosting discussions on pressing issues to encourage meaningful dialogue.
  • Thematic exhibitions: Challenging artists with unique and thought-provoking themes.
  • Scholarships: Supporting deserving art students.
  • MFA scholarships: Assisting artists in securing scholarships through the East-West Center, USA.
  • Mentorship programs: Guiding and nurturing young artists.
  • Educational outreach: Delivering presentations at art institutions to promote appreciation of Pakistani art.
  • Representation of remote artists: Showcasing talent from underrepresented regions.
  • Diplomatic engagement: Organizing exclusive art events to introduce the diplomatic community to Pakistani art.
