Marking its tenth edition, the FICA Patrons Programme enters a new chapter—one shaped by reflection, renewal, and a reimagining of what it means to come together in support of the arts. Over the past decade, this programme has become more than a calendar of events; it has grown into a space for sustained engagement, unexpected encounters, and shared inquiry into the urgencies of our time. As we commemorate ten years of collective commitment, we are filled with gratitude for the generosity and vision of our patrons—whose support not only sustains what we do, but continually expands what we dare to imagine.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the FICA Patrons 2025 - 26:

The tenth edition of the FICA Patrons Programme opened with an intimate dinner hosted by Jayati and Mohan Puri at their home in Delhi. It was an evening of reflection and celebration—looking back at a decade of coming together, and imagining what sustained support for the arts might continue to make possible.
Marking this milestone prompted not just gratitude, but renewed energy for the year ahead. As always, it is our patrons’ generosity, curiosity, and enduring belief in FICA’s vision that make these shared moments so meaningful.
Next, in May, our patrons spent an art-rich day at KNMA, tracing the journeys and layered worlds of Gulammohammed Sheikh through a private walkthrough of his expansive, immersive exhibition. The afternoon also offered a rare and thoughtful detour into the work of Caravaggio—an unexpected but resonant companion to Sheikh’s visual storytelling.
