The new gallery, named StroCurve, was founded by contemporary artist and sculptor Hari Thadoju, who aims to revive the city's cultural heritage in painting and sculpture. The gallery, located in a one-storey building, houses various galleries, dedicated halls for talks, lectures, art exhibitions, and book release functions, and offers professional training sessions on painting to young talents in the city.",
