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, our mission is 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, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, ability, beliefs, or background, can share their creativity.
In June 2024, we began hosting juried exhibitions, which were met with incredible enthusiasm and support, strengthening our passion to grow this vision. Our most recent exhibit proudly showcases artwork created by artists living with brain injury, a testament to the resilience and creativity that shines through all forms of lived experience.
More recently, we expanded beyond the gallery to include a vibrant studio space, offering fine art classes, paint nights for adults, kids’ birthday parties, private events, and summer art programs for youth. While this is an ambitious undertaking, our love for art and our community continues to guide and inspire us. By creating spaces where people can come together to paint, learn, and express themselves, we hope to contribute to the thriving creative energy around us.
We are deeply committed to inclusivity and respect, ensuring that every person feels valued, seen, and supported. Our space is fully wheelchair accessible, with an accessible entrance to welcome all.
