The late Mr. K.K.Nag, the founder of K.K.Nag Ltd. and the Nag Foundation, was an avid collector of art since the early 1950s. He personally knew most of the artists in Bombay who have since made a name for themselves and would regularly buy their works. Both he and the artists were just starting out in life. Neither could he afford to buy paintings at enormous prices at one go, nor did the artists expect more than a few hundred rupees for their creations. Often times, Mr. Nag paid for them in instalments. Having known the artists personally, Mr. Nag knew how hard they had to struggle to establish themselves and how long it took for them to be recognised. Over the last twelve years, the Nag Foundation has held many outstanding exhibitions and organised many seminars, workshops and lectures. Some of the exhibitions were held in collaboration with prestigious national institutions such as the Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi, and the National Institute for Conservation and Preservation of Art, Lucknow. The Nag Foundation is an entirely non-profit organisation and its activities are totally funded by K.K.Nag Ltd. The Nag Foundation does not charge any commission or fees to the artists for displaying their work nor to the public who visit the exhibitions. The sale proceeds of any works sold are given entirely to the respective artists.

The exhibits are changed every month so that the maximum number of local artists get a chance to showcase their works.
