Two different art forms are showcased at Studio 55 -- Fine Art, including paintings , sculpture, and Music. Studio 55 is based upon the 'Salon' concept created in Paris and Europe of the 19th century
Renaissance, where a harmonious elite domestic space was utilised regularly for artistic and intellectual activities. The Tagore family of Jorasanko in Kolkata also engaged in regular Salons, where music, art, theatre and poetry were encouraged within the walls of the Tagore home. Enlightened and educated families were always expected to promote cultural activity throughout the course of history. This is the case at Studio 55 too, where the effort is that artists should feel relaxed during their shows.
