Welcome and namaskara. My wife and I are both from Bangalore and we will be glad to help you out.

In Mississauga (suburb west of Toronto), where we live, there's the Art Gallery Of Mississauga:

In the city of Toronto, there's Art Gallery of Ontario:

In addition to the above that are obvious, here's a link to others that may be of interest to you:

I am assuming painting is your profession? If I am correct, then Toronto will be a great place for you to live. Renting is slightly on the expensive side, but you can come here look for a suitable accomodation.

If you are open to sharing accomodation, that would be another option for you to start with.

Hi Natya,

Can you please let me know as to when you are moving to Canada.
My sis-in-law is an artist too,from Bangalore, and she too is moving to Canada in a couple of months.
